Consumer Description

THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS INCORPORATES SEPARATE (FROM LENS) CHROME TRIM PIECES THAT ARE SPEAR-LIKE IN SHAPE. THE POINTED ENDS OF THE SPEARS DO NOT SIT FLUSH IN THE HEADLIGHT LENS AND ARE PROTRUDING. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION EVERY TIME THE CAR IS WASHED & DRIED, AND WHEN USING A 'DUSTER' ON THE VEHICLE. WASH MITTS GET STUCK BEHIND THE SPEARS WHICH PULL THE SPEARS OUT MORE, INCREASING THE HAZARD TO ONE'S HAND. WHILE I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY ACTUAL LACERATIONS FROM THESE SPEARS TO DATE, ON MAY 13, 2018 MY HAND RECEIVED A 'WELT' FROM THE SPEAR. PICTURE ATTACHED FOR REFERENCE.
