2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA Exterior Lighting Problems

The headlights and high beams are dim . When the high beams are on other cars oncoming are not affected as they never flash their lights because my high beams seem as though they are just headlights. Also the fact that the high beams shine like headlights, there is no option for brighter lighting which makes it hard to see far ahead. I live in a rural location off of a narrow highway with down slopes with water at the bottom on both sides of the highway where large wildlife such as deer are plentiful . Insufficient high beam lighting imposes unsafe travel conditions since the headlights are dim and the high beams are how the headlights should be leaving no option for brighter visibility. I noticed the lighting being dim years ago but I thought it was just something to do with my trucks lighting until I began searching...

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
