| Description of the problem | The left headlight has a large blackout area that creates a shadow on the road. When driving on any street and especially on winding roads it's very distracting and makes us think that there is something moving across the road. I am distracted when this happens and sometimes hit the brakes. The right headlight has a similar issue but not nearly as pronounced. It's an asynchronous situation with one headlight distorted like that. It's dangerous in our opinion. We don't drive at night mush and noticed this recently but were waiting until the first oi change to get this addressed. |
