Description of the problem | Just purchased a loaded jeep cherokee trailhawk and noticed immediately during first night drive that headlights are hugely underpowered. The road is dark and i'd say they have less than have the brightness of my last car. I almost got in an accident the first night as i could not see where the center of the lane was when making a left turn. I subsequently got online and read a ton of complaints over new cherokee (2014-2016) headlights. This is so dangerous and unacceptable and yes, the headlights are working and i am operating them correctly. |
