1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2021

Loud knock turning the wheel to the left, rack and pinion leakage, inner outer tie rods can snap cause an injury or death. Headlights are very dim even the bright lights are dim. An oncoming car is not even phased when I have my bright lights on. It's difficult to see very well with those damn lights they're almost in amber color tried to use lens renew did not work.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra sr5. Headlight lens material has become blurred and more opaque in recent years, causing driving at night to be less illuminated and more hazardous. This began developing a few years ago, approximately 2005. I attempted to use a lens polishing product, but that produced only marginal improvements. The lenses continue to deteriorate over time, and it is only the headlight lenses while the same lens material is crystal clear over the marker lights. The lens material was poorly designed for use with headlights and appears to react poorly to the higher heat produced from the headlight bulbs. This is a serious safety hazard.
