Headlight lenses on 1997 Thunderbird cloud over due to weathering and limit amount of light emitted. Night vision and object illumination is seriously compromised. Vigorous polishing temporarily removes haze, but it has been my experience that the condition returns more quickly. I recently had to swerve into a large pot hole to avoid a city recycle can that had overturned and, being dark green, impossible to see at night. I damaged my left front wheel.

The front headlights have cracked and will need to be replaced soon. It is not right that Ford will not cover this after the warranty. My car is a 2002 they changed the design in 2003 so it is obvious that they were aware of the problem. Also it is not like we typically drive these as an everyday car. Mine has only 13,000 miles.

Head lights are not stable required constant adjustment.

The design of the head lights is inferior to previous models, there is less visibility with the 1996 model. The driver is having problems with visibility.

Headlight lenses cloud up, which reduces light beams.

The head light lenses on the vehicle are clouding up, the plastic used for the lenses is defective.

The connector that the bulbs plug into for the thrid brake light on the back dash is all melted and brown on both sides. Dealer has been contacted.

A white cloudy film is forming in the headlights. Manufacturer has been notified.
