2015 Nissan ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlights have become extremely dim on low beam. Cannot see even a few feet ahead, cannot see anything on the sides like curbs. Makes it treacherous to drive after dark. I almost hit a pedestrian twice in the last month because i could not see them without the brights on. Barely bright enough to pick up on the reflective buttons that mark lanes. Can't see enough of the street to make turns, without running the risk of missing the lane and hitting the curb or another vehicle. The problem just arose in the last 2-3 months. Prior to that the headlights seemed fine, and i do a lot of night driving. Some with city streetlights, and some on roads with minimal lighting. Lights may have dimmed gradually, but i first noticed it in late august, early september 2018. At that point it was a very noticeable change. 2 passengers have pointed out that they didn't think i even had the headlights turned on. On high beam, the lights work wonderfully. Unfortunately, that is not safe to use when facing oncoming vehicles or with vehicles in front of you. This is not an oxidation issue of the lens cover. The lens is crystal clear still, and the car is just now about 4 years old. Has 55000 miles on it. It seems there are quite a few complaints about the low beam headlights for nissan altimas. I'm afraid someone will get killed in an accident before anything is done to correct the issue. Please investigate the problem and help prevent such a tragedy.
