File date	03/04/19
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving at night on a rural road, without street lights (or other ambient lighting), the low beams do not illuminate the road adequately. According to the florida drivers handbook it states that low beams should illuminate 250 feet. Once safely off the roadway, in the same dark conditions, i actually measured the distance that was lit by the low beams and it only measured 85 feet... Way less than required by law.. The low beams are consistently dim yet the dealer claims they are "working properly". This is not safe!
