Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Reflective coating on the inside of the headlamp housings delaminated, resulting in total loss of projective properties of the headlights. result is headlights that do not emit light further than 2 - 3 feet in front of the vehicle. this makes night time driving very dangerous if not impossible. replacing the headlight bulbs does not help, as the housings are the defective item. *nm
