“Hi, I have a R350 2007 year and I have an issue with the right side headlight, the lens inside the lens turned foggy and because of that I am not able to drive in the night, there is no proper beam from that headlight. I took the vehicle to a dealer and they said its the normal discoloration , and unable to provide any clear explanation why the lens is foggy and they are not replacing it even considering it hazard with this kind of light, the lens has been causing inconvenience to me in the night driving.”
