My Monte Carlo headlights look as       MH> good as they did when I bought it.       MH>        MH> Not sure why some headlights do that, unless they are being made in       MH> China.                     I think some of the plastic housings are softer. I noticed this on a honda       accord that I bought in 2002. My oldest daughter wacked the front driver's       side trying to merge onto 695 from York Road in Towson. Needless to say, she       didn't see the pickup truck in front of her that was stopped. Well the body       shop put a new headlight bucket on and then a couple of years later I noticed       one was clear and the other was almost frosted. I just think it's from being       sandblasted and oxidation. My VW Gti had some really hard plastic that looked       like glass, much better product. It will be interesting to see how the Ford       lights hold up. I will get a second set when I do my HID retrofit so I can       take my time and not have to have the car apart too long. You have to take off       the front bumper to get the headlight buckets off on the Escapes.              jah                     --- WWIVToss v.1.50         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)    |
