Description of the problem | This is just a formal complaint to hopefully avoid accidents: headlights on most new vehicles are dangerous. They do not project, if you face a garage, there is a distinct line where above this line there is no extra light and below the line is where the headlights shine. When going up and down hills you can see about 3 feet in front of you and no further. It is just as dangerous around curves. You can't read street signs and it would be hard to see deere standing on the side of the road. I had my headlights adjusted up by the dealership and everyone flashed their brights at me so i had to have them turned back down. Miy husband has a new hyundai, everyone is flashing their brights at him and they are not on. My daughter-in-law who has a chevy said the same thing and she drives with her brights on as much as she possibly can since the low beam is so horrible. Take a test drive in the country on hills and curves at night you'll see just how dangerous these light truly are |
