Description of the problem | Headlights on 2014 sierra 1500 are horrible. Do not project very far down the road and the brights do not do anything but light up the tops of trees. At dusk, dawn, or when raining is particularly bad. On more than one occasion driving in small towns or in traffic i thought the lights were actually off they are so dim. I took it to the dealer shortly after i got the truck in september of 2013 and they said they adjusted them but it didn't do anything. I have continued to have problems and it seems like they are getting even dimmer now. Very disappointed... Someone is going to have a wreck one of these days because of these as you cannot see what is in the road 100 feet ahead. At 55 mph that could be a death sentence. |
