Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5. HEADLIGHT LENS MATERIAL HAS BECOME BLURRED AND MORE OPAQUE IN RECENT YEARS, CAUSING DRIVING AT NIGHT TO BE LESS ILLUMINATED AND MORE HAZARDOUS. THIS BEGAN DEVELOPING A FEW YEARS AGO, APPROXIMATELY 2005. I ATTEMPTED TO USE A LENS POLISHING PRODUCT, BUT THAT PRODUCED ONLY MARGINAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE LENSES CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE OVER TIME, AND IT IS ONLY THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WHILE THE SAME LENS MATERIAL IS CRYSTAL CLEAR OVER THE MARKER LIGHTS. THE LENS MATERIAL WAS POORLY DESIGNED FOR USE WITH HEADLIGHTS AND APPEARS TO REACT POORLY TO THE HIGHER HEAT PRODUCED FROM THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
