Consumer Description

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE GHOSTING OF LIGHTS THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I WILL SEE FALSE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS, STREETLIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, REFLECTIONS OF THE SUN ON CARS, ETC. THESE FALSE IMAGES FLOAT ABOVE THEIR SOURCE AT VARYING HEIGHTS AS MY CAR APPROACHES THE SOURCE. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH A LOT OF LIGHTS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ACCURATELY TO DISCERN REALITY.
