2013 Nissan ALTIMA Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1500948
Internal NHTSA #	11132182
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	12/06/18
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I've had the vehicle for 4 yrs and about 3-4 months ago the low beam headlights began to appear dim. I changed out the bulbs thinking that the factory bulbs were going bad. After replacing the bulbs, there was no change in the lighting. It is now unsafe to drive the vehicle at night due to not being able to see more than 3-5 feet in front of you and that is only because the fog lights are on. We have resorted to riding around with the high beams on because of this problem. I've had at least two different nissans, that i have had at least 8-10 yrs and have never encounter this problem before. Nhtsa and nissan need to look into this because from other complaints i've read this sounds like the headlight/lamp assembly is defective.
