| Description of the problem | The standard headlights are extremely dim and unsuitable for nighttime driving. They have a brightness roughly equivalent to parking lights. This is a problem known to mercedes according to many online boards. My vehicle is unsafe for night driving and needs to be retrofitted with some usable headlights. Visibility is only about 10 feet in front of the car which is unacceptable for highway driving. |
