Description of the problem | Persistant poor light production of low beam head lights/ head lamp projectors. Have replaced head lamp bulbs with stonger h11 bulbs, including led and you can barely see the road at night. Clearly the projector deteriorates or fails as car ages. This is a major safety hazard, as you cannot clearly see the road unless you use hi beam, which is not practical. Even with fog lamps turned on, forward view is difficult in night and absolutely dangerous in poor weather conditions. This is while driving vehicle at night, poor weather conditions, dusk, dawn, low light conditions. |
