1998 Dodge Neon: headlights failing or too dim

Filed May 2, 2006 · Lights · CA

When calling pro-a motors at 323‑838‑2988,about certain pro-a motors corner lamps, turn signals, and headlights sold as replacement lamps, for my 1998 dodge neon I was put on hold for a lengthy amount of time before being answered to a horrible personal. In attempts to see if it was the actual lamp or the outside reflector that was damaged I was given about 5 seconds into my description before being told that no it is not there problem that I did not have their lamp in my car. Amazing how there is such a quick answer to my description of 5 seconds. Maybe there are a lot of recalls from their company but I was not even allowed to see if my part was part of that recall before being hung up on.

The headlight lens on the neon are made of plastic that has degraded to a point that the headlights are ineffective. On top of that, there is not a replacement lens available. You have to buy an entire $110.00 assembly.

Both headlights are losing visability. They are clouded up. Either wrong or cheap grade plastics used for optical use. I have seen every 99 and before dodge neon with the same problem. Very unsafe when you lose visibilty at night. Dt
