WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON, THE SWITCH FAILS AND SHUTS OFF ALL HEAD LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRAVELING WINDING COUNTRY ROADS IN PITCH DARKNESS. THIS IS ALSO A SERIOUS CONDITION WHEN TRAVELING LOW SPEEDS ON A NARROW GRAVEL ROAD WHEN TURNING OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN TRAVELING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT LOW SPEED WHEN TURNING INTO A COUNTY ROAD FROM A PAVED HIGHWAY CAUSING LOSS OF ALL VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. IF I WERE NOT A DEFENSIVE DRIVER IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE ROAD.

LENS COVER ON HEADLIGHTS TURNS MILK. THIS CAUSES LIGHTS TO BE DIMMED, AND HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROBLEM WAS AN INCREASE IN DIMNESS.*AK BECAUSE THE OUTER HEAD LIGHT LENSES WERE MADE OF PLASTIC, THE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DESTROYED. *YH

HEADLIGHT COVERS ARE PLASTIC. THEY WERE TRANSLUSCENT TO BEGIN WITH, BUT TURN OPAGUE WITH AGE. THIS IS NORMAL FOR REGULAR PLASTICS, BUT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH GOOD OPTICAL PLASTICS. PROCESS CUTS DOWN AMOUNT OF LIGHT SHINING THROUGH HEADLAMP ONTO ROAD, LESSENS LIGHTING DISTANCE AND INTENSITY. DANGEROUS WHETHER LOW BEAMS NEEDED BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR HIGH BEAMS NEEDED ON WINDY ROADS OR HIGHER SPEEDS WHERE LINE OF SIGHT NEEDED IS BEYOND LESSENED LIGHTING DISTANCE DUE TO OPAQUE LENSES. NO RESPONSE FROM MFR ON PRIOR LETTER. *AK

BOTH HEADLIGHT LENSES TURNED YELLOW AND GREATLY REDUCED LIGHT OUTPUT. *MJS

LENS OR COVER OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO BE PLASTIC. LENSES OPAQUE WITH AGE AND CUT DOWN ON AVAILABLE LIGHT GENERATED BY HALOGEN BULB ASSEMBLY. IS THERE A GLASS REPLACEMENT LENS EQUIPPED ASSEMBLY? GOING TO HIGHER INTENSITY BULB ONLY MASKS PROBLEM.

AFTER USING HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO BLINK ON AND OFF. ONCE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CUT OFF FOR A WHILE THEY BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *AK
