Description of the problem | Sometime during the last year, both headlights have become so full of moisture, dirt, and grim as to make them not give off much light to see for night driving. I have been driving on high beams and even that does not help. However the headlight assembly is made, the units have come "unsealed". It is more than a nusance, because it affects the ability to drive safely at night. I have seen this situation on other windstars and others still have nice clear lenses. Has ford or nhtsa done anything? Is there anything i can do before i have an accident at night running into or over something? Thank you. *ak |
