Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
July of 2008 I purchased replacement headlights (not lamps) from autoparts warehouse.com. I believe the brand name was "depo". I believe the part numbers are 331-1117r & 331-1117l. The metal reflectors inside both units melted their plastic stantions and became loose which enabled them to repeatedly hit the headlamps burning them out. I called the supplier to get new units within 60 days of the purchase and to inform them of the defects. They allowed for a complicated return/exchange which I was unable to utilize. Now I need it exchanged to sell the car. It is a hazard to drive further in this condition. The parts carried a one year warranty as do their new brand of the same items.
1- headlight covers turning yellow three times I replaced them 2 -smell of gas after fueling - steering wheel locks when turning.
When switching headlights from low beam to high beam headlights go out until lights are switched back to low beam. Headlight switch was replaced a couple of years ago. At this time it needs to be replaced again.*ak consumer states the problem is with the multifunction switch.
Consumer states that the plastic front headlight lenses are completely clouded, as a result the beams emanating from the headlamps are insufficent to properly light the roadway, consumer feels that the plastic is defective, rather than the water infiltration of any other explanation, consumer requested that ford replace the lenses at their expense, however was denied.
The plastic front headlight lenses are completely clouded, and as a result, the beams emanating from the headlamps are insufficient to properly light the roadway.
Headlight lenses are yellow and cause poor visibility. Please provide further information.
A malfunction occurs within the headlight switch and the terminal block that causes an electrical shortage, resulting in headlights going completely out. *ak.et.
