| Description of the problem | Plastic headlight lenses that deteriorate/cloud and reduce light passing through the lens. Resulting in reduced visibility during night time driving. Are manufacturers required to have life of vehicle lens? What happened to glass lenses? No recalls for clouded lenses? Very costly to replace or repair. Are you missing something right in front of your eyes? I see this on more cars than i can count. Many manufacturers, models and years. Can you help millions of present and future auto owners? |
