Consumer Description

THE HOUSINGS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SEALED. MOISTURE HAS FORMED INSIDE OF THE UNITS AND LIMITS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS, CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION AT NIGHT. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM,THE UNITS CANNOT BE OPPENED FOR CLEANING, IS TO BUY NEW UNITS FOR $300 EACH. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING. *AK
