Description of the problem	Headlamps started to get dimmer and dimmer. Took to dealership, was told the headlamps both were dim due to the reflector part fading out. Was given a $1,288 quote to replace ($366 for each headlamp assy, plus $500 labor to install). Called nissan customer service - the "regional representatives, after consulting with the dealership, would offer a 70% discount". I can buy the replacement headlamp assy's through multiple outlets for $110-125). Even at 70% i would still be paying over $450 for what is a definite safety issue from a defective part. The car cannot be drive at night because there is insufficient light to see the roads. The car was purchased new and had 70,000 miles on it. My first check on the internet located 91 other complaints for the same problem, same model and year, and same cost!
