The headlights have had condensation inside for several months. With torrential rains two weeks ago, the passenger side headlight took on an inch and a half of water inside the cover, and the driver side had increased condensation to obscure the whole cover. The car is commonly parked outside my apartment (urban area) when not in use. Dates are approximate, and I've put the car in the aaa shop to get the headlights replaced (big expense, as the car's old enough to vote!)

Headlights seem very dim. We notice the plastic lens over the head lights are yellowing and probably blocking the light output.

I bought a hitch cover light, that permanently block's the view of the vital visual safety inspection trailer hitch receiver, installed locking pin, emergency tow chain's, and 7 prong. Elect. And ball mount stability. This universal vehicle product is called: White night reverse light system. Patent name: Supplemental reverse light issued July 27,2000 viewable at www.cruiserstainless.com. bought for $75. The problem with this is: They have additional attachment features for this large hitch receiver cover not covered by the patent. This product permanently blocks the vital view of the hich pin, emergency tow chain and structural stability of the oem standardized - best selling aftermarket trailer hitch receiver. My accident would have been prevented if this product that blocked the hitch receiver view during towing did not take place. The owner of this product is roger byers. If they continue to sell this product that covers the hitch with no view of hitch receiver installed accessories more loss of towing trailers, lives and safety inspections of the hitch receiver during towing will continue. Please stop them from hurting others. (dot number: 12.201 tiresize: 11)
