MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
HEADLIGHTS AND EXTERIOR
LIGHTS
Exterior Light Lenses
Most Winnebago Industries
polycarbonate lenses on exterior lamps, which
are very sensitive to a variety of chemical
solvents and cleaners.
Use only soap and water to clean exterior
lamp lenses - especially headlights.
• Contact with certain chemicals can cause
etching, "crazing", or cracking of the lens,
which can significantly reduce the lens clarity
and effectiveness of the lamp and may require
replacement of the complete lamp housing.
• Some popular citric acid cleaners may cause
bicarbonate lenses to become "hazy" or
®
, "foggy".
• Do not use a pressure washer to clean
headlights.
• Inspect and operate the lights regularly to
confirm proper operation and mounting
condition.
Headlight Moisture
Your coach is equipped with composite
headlights, which contain replaceable halogen
"bulb" elements, common to most current
automobiles. This type of lamp assembly is not
sealed from the atmosphere and is designed with
a moisture venting system.
Because they are not sealed, under "dew
point" conditions the headlights may exhibit
signs of humidity condensation on the reflector
surface and lens, such as small droplets of water
or "fogging over".
If this happens, drive with the headlights on so
the moisture can evaporate and expel through the
venting system designed into the headlamp
assembly.
