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.
