Visibility/Wiper 4

“ON 2010 MODEL SS/RS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS (REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTION CODE T4F; I BELIEVE THE CODE IS), THE VISIBILITY OF THE HEADLAMPS IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS DUE TO HEAT FROM THE REQUIRED ZENON BULB. HEAT FROM THE BULB, CAUSES THE PLASTIC REFLECTIVE DISH AT THE REAR OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO WARP AND CRACK THE MIRROR REFLECTIVE FINISH CAUSING DIMINISHED THROW (DISTANCE) FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. WITH THE SEVERELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS, A DRIVER (ME) CANNOT SEE MUCH FURTHER THAN 30 FEET OR SO IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHT. IF RAIN I…”

I BELONG TO A CAMARO CLUB AND 90% OF THE OTHER CAMARO'S DO THE SAME THING. WE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STRUTS BUT OF COURSE GM DENIES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG.
