My experience with optical systems is the optical lens get coated with an spark/ozone by-product. This is due to sparking between the cap terminals and rotor within the cap containing the optical system. Over a period of time the lens gets cloudy enough to cause the car to start missing due to it not passing enough light. Things may have improved by design but I still stay clear of such optical systems. Magnetic all the way with me.
