| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS | |||
| 10/01/1989 | |||
| The headlights on my 1988 dodge caravan are becomming opaque. i only see a glow on the road ahead. i understand that this is a common problem. i was told by a delership parts person the cause is water condensing on the inside of the headlight's lense, and leaving a calcium deposit when the headlamps are turned on, causing evaporatoration of the moisture. not all cars have this problem. i feel that this problem is the result of a poorly designed lense unit. other headlight lense units do not have this problem. this is a potential safety problem due to poor illumination of the road ahead. i would like to have my head light units replaced by dodge at their cost. | |||
