What owners wrote

Daylight running light design is against alaska state law, design allows the turn signal/parking lamps to be lit when ignition switch is on.

Headlight lens developed a cloudy film. This reduced the light illumination, and resulted in poor visibility. The lens could not be cleaned. The consumer believes the design of the lens is poor because it does not allow the consumer to clean the inside of the lens.

Reported at 26,369 miles, October 1999
