| Description of the problem | I was driving down the expressway at a normal speed and realized my headlights were very dim to a point i thought my lights were not on. I checked from the interior and they were in the auto position. I pulled over to check them and found out they were actually both on and lit. I have had all of my systems and my battery checked and everything was in very good condition. Was told that this is a common problem and the entire assembly have to be replaced. Driving at night is an extreme hazard. If you utilize the high beam lights the lighting is still not the best and is hazardous to other drivers. The lighting is the same at night if you ar driving or if you are in a stationary position. |
