Material headlamps are made of is yellowing/dull to the point that it interferes with your vision at night. We have tried to clean and bluff them. Then we were told to try wet sanding and cleaning them. This helped somewhat for awhile. Replacement for both headlamps cost over $700 to replace. The vehicle runs okay and would like to keep it for awhile longer, but night driving in it is really becoming a problem. I have spoken to several people with vehicles in that age model that are experiencing the same problems.

The plastic headlight lenses contained glazed, which caused poor illumination and resulted in poor visibility. Almost all of these models had the same problem.
