Description of the problem | whoever thought these ece headlights are great needs to get off the drugs. Just bought a new 2014 ford edge. 2 nights ago was driving on a very hilly road. As i was coming up from the bottom, the cutoff line of these things kept me from seeing two people walking in my lane. When they came into the beam, i slammed on the brakes and scared the crap out of them and me. If i end up killing anyone because i couldn't see them because of these cutoff pos's, i'll be seeing you guys in court. I highly suggest you "build american" and get these cutoff things off american cars. Give someone who wears glasses a pair that have the top half of the lenses blacked out and see how they like it. This is just a very unsafe idea. Let the europeans worry about their problems.[xxx] parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
