Description of the problem | 2014 gmc sierra 1500. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlights design problems. *smd the consumer stated he discovered the headlights only had one bulb, which meant the high and low beams had to be adjusted as one unit. He exited the vehicle and measured the distance from the vehicle to where the visibility ended. The distance was 130 feet on both sides of the road. Also, on a turn of 90 or 120 degrees, there was no side lighting which meant he had to slow down to a crawl in order to make a turn. In addition, when going down hill, the visibility of the lights decreased to about 20-20 feet. The dealer raised the lights about factory specs. He could see a little better, but the high beams were 20-30 feet in the air and were useless. *jb ma 08/05/15 the consumer stated during inclement weather visibility decreases to 20-30 feet/40 feet max.
