2004 BMW 330I Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1152683
Internal NHTSA #	10679358
Manufacurer	BMW of North America, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	330I
Model Year	2004
File date	14/12/14
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The low beams on my 2004 bmw 330i are very dim. They barely light up the road at night, if at all. My only option is to turn on my high beams, but then i risk blinding incoming traffic. I consider this a significant safety risk. Through online research i have discovered that the problem is that the bowls bmw used to reflect the light from the bulbs are made of plastic and get burnt from the heat of the bulb. Due to this fact, i believe bmw should have a recall for the headlights of e46 cars. I do not think i should have to pay to fix something that is a factory defect.
