Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT REPLACED BOTH BUT THEY FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE POLYMER HEADLIGHT OUTER SURFACE/LENS OF MY 2001 HONDA CRV HAS STARTED TO DISCOLOR/HAZE/CRAZE THUS REDUCING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD WAY. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SAME CONDITION WITH NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT THE MATERIALS USED FOR HEADLIGHT LENSES ( AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL REFLECTORS ) BE ABLE TO REMAIN CLEAR FOR ANY PARTICULAR NUMBER OF YEARS/MILEAGE? SHOULD DEALERS/SERVICE SHOPS/SMOG CHECK SHOPS/LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES/ETC. MONITOR VEHICLES AND NOTIFY THE DRIVERS/OWNERS THAT THE LENSES HAVE DETERIORATED TO A DEGREE THAT THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD/MUST BE REPLACED? IF THERE ARE CERTIFICATION OF DURABILITY/MINIMUM USEFUL LIFETIME REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON EQUIPMENT/VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS; AND THESE LENSES ARE NOT MEETING THEM, SHOULD DEALERS ETC. BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH MORE DURABLE VERSIONS? A SUGGESTED INVESTIGATIVE STARTING POINT WOULD BE TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN HEADLIGHT LENSES AND THOSE OF OTHER VEHICLES YOU PASS ON THE ROADS. *TR
