“The plastic headlight lenses have lost their transparency without any damage or neglect in care. The nighttime illumination has been greatly reduced. While this has not occurred in an older '89 Mazda 626 we have owned since new, I have noticed this type of plastic headlight lens opacity in early '90's ford escorts and dodge/plymouth neons. I can recall when in 1966-67, the us government prohibited external headlight lenses (as in vw beetles) because visibility could become reduced in certain situations due to fogging or ice/snow buildup. …”
