Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Very poor night driving conditions due to what seems to be poorly designed headlamp fixtures. the aging factory headlamp fixtures do not seem to produce enough light for night driving resulting in dangerous conditions due to low visibility. the fixtures seem to "yellow" and "fog" abnormally with age and it also seems that the heat produced by the factory specified lamps actually damage the internal reflective material, both conditions reduce effective output of the fixtures. these conditions seem to occur with age and use, new fixture output is acceptable.*ak
