Ever notice all the older Neons, minivans, Intrepids and some Fords on the road suffering from opaque lenses? I even spotted an older Mercedes developing the problem. It is unacceptable that we have to constantly buff or replace cloudy, yellow polycarbonate plastic headlight lenses because Chrysler and Ford were too cheap to specify a few cents worth of UV protection in the plastic mix. Headlight performance on these cars was mediocre when new. It is a downright hazard when cateracts set in. If you are as mad as hell about this problem as I am, and want to tell someone about it, click on the link below and let the NHTSA know that you have trouble seeing road hazards and pedestrians while driving at night. Demand a recall, an enforced new standard, and a permanent fix. Glass was good.
