Description of the problem | The headlight output at night, particularly in rural back road areas is less than adequate. Poor really. I originally had moisture issues in both headlamp housings, had both headlamp housings replaced and the lighting seemed to be better, however not very much. The headlights seem to have dark spots in them and only light up certain parts of the road in front of me, and never much to the side of the roadway. I feel this is by far the worst lighting output of any vehicle i have ever owned, and actually feel a little unsafe driving at night. I most definitely cannot travel at higher speeds during the night as i feel like i cannot see nearly good enough. I have simply "dealt" with the issue since buying the truck in december 2013, thinking there was no fix to it and the dealership said they have not heard of this issue before. |
