| Description of the problem | For the past 2 years it has become more difficult to see the road when driving at night. About 1 1/2 yrs ago i took the car to a nissan dealer and complained. They charged by $200to check the lights, wiring ect. I was told by the mechanic the lights were definitely not operating as they should but they could find nothing in the initial search and i would need to bring the car back and leave if for them to further investigate which i could not afford. I commute 100 miles a day to and from work it is almost impossible to see the road after sunset with my low beams. I will not even drive the vehicle 3 blocks from my house to the corner store the low beams have gotten so bad. In addition to me not being able to see the road while driving drivers have a hard time seeing me because the low beams are dim and the high beams are blinding and dangerous to drive with |
