Description of the problem	My wife's kia and many of the other cars and trucks i see on the road have plastic headlight housings. After a period of time the plastic becomes milky and the light emitted is not enough to see. I think the manufactures should be forced to replace the headlamp housings for safety reasons. If they would have made them out of glass like the ones on my jeep there would be no problem. *jb
