Over the past several years I have noticed my headlight lens were fogging up to the point where they were not functioning safely. I took the car to the shop where they used an emulsifier liquid to partially restore the lenses. Then I noticed that other cars had the same problem. This was not a problem when the manufacturers used glass lenses. Now they use plastic. What can be done to encourage auto manufacturers to place safe no-fog lenses in their new vehicles?

Both original front headlight assembly's on the 2000 dodge grand caravan are clouded to the point that the headlight illumination may be compromised. This seems to be a result of the plastic not being able to handle the uv (sun).The rear lighting assemblies are fine. *Tr

Headlights on this vehicle are so poorly designed as to be a hazard. As a 2000 model daimler -chrysler should be required to upgrade the headlights on this vehicle. This is not the first chrysler product I have owned with very poor forward lighting. *Ak
