The headlights have become very cloudy and are turning yellow due to deterioration of the plastic which appears to have fine cracking or crazing throughout the material that can not be polished out. the headlights also contain the turn signals and have the following identification: dot sae ahr15pp2 99 HB3 tyc 20-6173 r & tyc 20-6174 l several months ago I contacted winnebago industries regarding replacement and they said they would not cover the cost, I would have to buy them. as time goes on the condition IS getting worse which IS impairing the nighttime road visibility and view of the turn signals by oncoming traffic. I do not feel I should have to cover the cost of replacement due to the inferior quality of the material used for these headlights. I have owned many vehicles over the years and have never experienced this issue before.
