Description of the problem | Worst headlight for a new vehicle. I have owned various gm trucks from 1967 to 2014. Never have i owned a truck with such worthless headlights like the projector beam headlights on my 2014 gmc sierra 1500 with the all terrain package. The projector headlight are very dim and do not light the road more than 30 feet ahead. At highway speeds (55-70) the projector headlights are only lighting a half second ahead of you. Additionally there is no lighting to illuminate the shoulder at all.. You must drive full time with the fog lamps on to have a small increase in lighting. When using the high beams there is very little effect on visibility. Extremely disappointed in the 2014 gmc sierra. And will unlikely purchase another gm product in the future. At a msrp of over 50 grand i would expect a truck to have adequate headlight to light the road. Without the aftermarket cost to install better lighting the 2014 gmc sierra is very unsafe to operate at night. |
