Consumer has a concern about the plastic lens over the headlight are discoloring and causes poor visibility when driving at night. Dealer was notified. Please provide any further information.

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2003

Both headlight lens assemblies have become cloudy/hazy, so the light emitted is greatly reduced, creating an unsafe driving condition. Replacement cost is $400 plus labor. I feel Ford should cover this, as the assemblies are obviously defective, and this is a safety issue.
