There could be. Our '96 Chrysler Concorde just failed the Virginia safety
test because the clouded plastic lenses reduced the candle power to below
the acceptable limits. Had to replace the lenses at $110.00 each. I just
hope Fuji Heavy Industries uses better quality plastic than DaimlerChrysler.

Forester headlight lenses/covers
The headlight lenses/covers on my '04 Forester seem to be made of some form
of plastic. First car I've had without glass headlight lenses/covers. I'd
guess plastic would be cheaper to replace than glass, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Are there any issues with these plastic covers, e.g., do they get scratched
and abraded over time? Besides lighter weight, and perhaps lower replacement
cost, are there any advantages? Are they made of Lexan, or something
similar---a very tough plastic? Are all Subaru model headlight lenses/covers
plastic?

Re: Forester headlight lenses/covers
do a related search in the forums over at www.usmb.com
I know there were discussions/instructions for polishing the lenses when
this happens - uh - MUCH cheaper than replacing them.
