Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Light from headlights has gradually dimmed over the years although bulbs have been replaced. cause appears to be lack of aging- and/or uv-resistance on the part of the headlamp lense (separate bulb/lense design), which i believe is made of polycarbonate (possibly acrylic or other material), which has substantially yellowed with aging and/or exposure to sunlight. when new, the lenses were completely clear, but are now quite yellowed. this is a serious safety hazard, and i believe the manufacturer should replace these defective safety-related parts. i believe the light output is likely below federal requirements at this time. *ak |
