The seals on both front headlamp assemblies have failed allowing moisture and dust to enter, thus clouding the lenses and reflectors to the point where the lighting is greatly diminished (at least 50%). The manufacturer ought to replace these defective units. Additional problem with lighting: the headlamp dimmer switch has failed --- when I use the flasher to go to the high beam, all lights go out - black, with a 100% loss of vision -- a real safety problem.
