Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The low beam headlight was getting progressively dimmer over time. upon disassembly i found the reflector area to be dull and partially blackened. any attempt to clean away the black area only enlarged it as the reflector area had turned to powder. i swapped out parts from the high beam to restore the low beam operation. i have not yet determined a course of action to permanently remedy the situation. *ak
