Description of the problem	This vehicle has the worse headlights of any vehicle i have owned (i have owned 341). The headlights cut off abruptly at 36 feet in front of the vehicle. You can outdrive the headlights at 5 mph. After 4 visits to the dealership, they have aimed the headlights up to cast the light out further, but the high beams are now 30 feet up in the trees. The light is very, very dim overall. I own a 2014 mossimo utv four wheeler and the lights are brighter and have more distance than my $50,000 truck, i also own a kia soul, a 2013 ford fusion, and a 2014 chrysler town and country. All of those headlights are much brighter and give great light dispersion on both sides of the road and are bright. My headlights are like a 3 way bulb 70/100/125 watt. My other cars are like the 125 and the gmc is less than the 70 watt setting... Good comparison. Gmc is using 1 hir single filament bulb with a mechanical flapper for low beam. Very sorry set up. I live in tennessee where the roads are crooked and have no shoulders. If you drive off the road, you are in a deep ditch or dead. This is a definite safety issue. 1901 headlights on a 2014 truck. I do not any longer drive this vehicle at night. Gm has done nothing. No fix, no bulletin. I have read hundreds of complaints about the 2014 gmc headlights on the internet. I guess gm will cover this up like the ignition thing. I had a 2002 corvette that the ignition would lock up the steering wheel on, while driving. Gm said it was impossible. I had video. They bought it back. Coverup artists!
