EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHTS WORK FINE, BUT WHAT I'VE NOTICE ALONG WITH MY MUSTANG MY, MOTHER'S FORD TAURUS AS WELL, THE HOUSING FOR THE HEADLIGHTS APPERAS TO BE EXTREMELY PITTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THEM AT NIGHT. I'VE TRIED TO USE A PLASTIC CLEANING SOLUTION FOR THEM, ONE FROM 3M SEEMED TO HELP CLEAN THE HEADLAMPS GREATLY AND IMPROVED THE CONDITIONS SOME, BUT I'VE NOTICE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE GETTING EXPOTENTIALY WORSE. I AM GOING TO GO SPEAK WITH FORD DURRING THE WEEK AND LOOK AT OTHER HEADLAMPS ON THE NEW MUSTANGS. BUT I AM MAINLY CURIOUSE AS TO WEATHER OR NOT OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR HEADLAMPS LOOK LIKE THE HAVE A FILM ON THEM OR ARE PITTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF. (I USE A CERTIFIED CAR CLEANING SOLUTION TO WASH THE VEHICLES. IT'S MADE BY TUTLE WAX AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE FOR ALL FINISHES)
