    Sadly, I don't think it's even possible to have them on new cars, since the headlamps are generally made from plastic and wipers would scratch them.
    Cars were built better when they didn't cheap out on materials.

    • @Fradias11
      @Fradias11 3 роки тому +2

      Sadly plastic headlight covers are actually mandatory and not a case of manufacturers cheapening out. Glass is insanely dangerous if you crash into a pedestrian.
      Afaik the last glass headlight car was the volvo V70 / XC70 P2, which was forced to drop them in the 2005 update, meaning the headlight wipers also went away.

    • @georgesmith2316
      @georgesmith2316 3 роки тому +1

      @@Fradias11 Thank you, I didn't know that. But what really bothers me is their susceptibility to yellowing and scratches. All cars with plastic headlights I had were having these problems. I wonder if new ones are better, since technology has surely developed after 20 years or so. Or if they could perhaps use similar technology they use on window glass, so it doesn't cut the pedestrians. Although I guess since they aren't meant to last that long, it's no longer a bother.
