| My 1996 dodge avenger es v-6 has severely pitted headlamp lenses which seriously reduces the effectiveness of the headlamps for night driving and i believe is dangerous. i've experienced this in other cars i've owned, but not nearly to the degree with this dodge. the lenses look cloudy. *jb | |||
