Description of the problem | Low beam headlights are dangerously dim. They have already been replaced once, i do not believe it is the bulb as iihs has rated these lights on this model as poor as well. While driving on any road without reflectors or overhead lights in the evening it is very hard to see the painted lines. I feel very unsafe on paved country roads, even ones that are straight for miles. Turns feel more dangerous, and this is even a problem on the highway in major cities where no overhead illumination is present on the roadway. |
