“I own a 1998 Honda Prelude. The headlight lenses have become fogged and cloudy and cannot be cleaned. The poor illumination of the roadway provided by these fogged and cloudy headlights is a clear violation of standard 108. The fogginess and cloudiness of the headlight lenses is a condition resultant from substandard factory installed equipment. The research I have done confirms that car owners, nationally, have been complaining about similar conditions for many years. …”
