Headlights are so frosted/yellowed you can.T see at night.the lights on this vehicle were not that good when they were new. But now that the plastic has broken down from exposure to the environment, the lights are useless. My older cars had headlights made of glass and did not seem to have this problem.

: the contact stated that both front headlight covers are cloudy and discolored, which makes it difficult to see the road ahead. The manufacturer was contacted on 07/24/06 who determined that the whole headlight assembly needed to be replaced at cost.

Consumer complained about the headlights. Both headlights have glazed over, almost opaque, resulting in extremely reduced visibility during the night. Thus, obstructing consumer's view while driving. Dealership indicated nothing they could do about it, only to replace each headlight unit. Each headlight unit would cost $263 at consumer's expense.

Plastic covers of 1997 Plymouth Voyager minivan headlamps are losing transparency. Minute cracks appearing on the surface of the headlamps are making them less clear and thus decreasing the brightness of the headlamps at night. Noticed initially a year ago, slowly getting worse.

While driving at night headlights would get condensation inside of the lens that would cause the lights to become dim. This would pose a hazard to the driver due to a lack of visibility on the roads. There would be no light reflection while driving because of a lack of brightness. Will be taking vehicle to dealer to have headlight covers checked.

I have seen all of the other vehicles be recalled due to inadequte lighting by the head lights but I still do not see the crysler minivans being recalled for this problem. They are the worst. Please check on this and force crysler to recall them.
