Description of the problem	Hi, i would like to bring it to your notice that the headlights provided with my nissan altima do not provide adequate lighting on the street. It is particularly very difficult when making turns, and the other side is like a 4 lane road(the divider is visible when it is already too late). It is my personal experience that when you are unfamiliar with the roads in an area, you will end up on the wrong side of the road (the light is not wide enough and not bright enough). I was lucky that the roads were empty. I have noticed that cars from other manufacturers which are older and smaller light up roads better than my new car does(ex: hyundai elantra). Sir, i have approached the nissan dealership and ask them to install hid lamps on my car(i would pay for it) and they say nissan would not do it. Some times it feels like i have no head lights and as if i am driving with lighting from other cars. Please investigate this issue. I would be really happy if they would provide proper headlamps with right amount of lighting and wide enough beam to ensure a safe and non-life threatening driving experience. Thanks, a driver who wants to be alive.
