1995 ford tauras and the headlights have discolored so badly that it is very difficult to see at night. I have tried all types of plastic cleaners and nothing works. The only alternative is to replace the lens with new. I called ford and they have no recall for this hazardous condition. I have also noticed other tauras' on the road with the same condition.
