Concerns with plastic lens coverings in headlight assembly. The consumer has noticed that the plastic headlight lenses, on the majority of autos/trucks produced since the 1990's, are becoming discolored/opaque over time. The discoloration severely reduces visibility. The car would not pass inspection because of the headlights.
