2001 Ford Mustang headlight assembly seals failed. No address provided - no answer required. The front headlights were fogging with moisture. The headlight were replaced under warranty but the problem returned. The lenses were slowly developing a silver-grey film.

Deterioration of materials of headlight lenses. Deterioration caused by the heat produced by the light itself. Dims the headlights and reduces visibility thereby causing unsafe and illegal driving conditions.L
