Head Light Lenses Become Cloudy/Opaque Due To Sun Exposure on Mercedes-Benz 500SEC

Problem overview

Due to exposure to the sun, lenses for head lights may become opaque (cloudy or hazy). This reduces the effectiveness of the lights. Our technicians tell us plastic polishes can improve the clarity of the lenses, but replacement of the lamp housings is the only way to regain the full intensity of the lights.
