Motorhome headlights.
My headlight lenses fogged over. Got really bad to the point it was affecting the light on the highway. I tried one of those kits to remove the fog and that turned out to be a joke. So I decided to replace the headlights. Just like everything else in a motorhome they use something manufactured by someone else. I investigated and found out my Southwind has Volkswagen headlights made in Germany. They came from a 1999 to 2005 VW Golf GTI. I went to NAPA and found out that replacement units were over $400.00 a piece. I called Volkswagen and they said $316.00 a piece.
I groaned. Then I went to e-bay. The complete unit could be bought for less than $150.00 but they appeared to be for a VW that was tripped out by a young driver. Then I found a company that makes glass replacement lenses. I don't know if they make them for other applications.
I am posting this as a heads up. Before you replace the headlight for your unit at a high cost, do some investigating. You might luck out like I did. The glass lenses for my VW headlights cost less than $70.00 for the pair, including free shipping. And there was a video instruction on how to remove the old fogged plastic lenses and replace them with the glass lenses.
