Consumer Description

HEADLIGHT HOUSING ON 1997 DODGE SE GRAND CARAVAN. THE PLASTIC LENS OF THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IN WHICH THE HEADLIGHT BULB IS ENCASED HAS DISCOLORED, THEREBY, OBSCURING THE LIGHT GENERATED BY THE HEADLIGHT BULB. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS. I HAVE SURVEYED OTHER MINIVANS OF THE SAME VINTAGE AND NOTICED THEY TOO WERE DISCOLORED. IT CONCERNED ME SO MUCH THAT I PURCHASED TWO NEW HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS FROM OFF THE INTERNET (NOT MOPAR). THERE IS PROBABLY A SAFETY FACTOR WITH THIS DEFECT.*JB
