Description of the problem	Because this complaint involves my low beam lights my car is moving. I commute 100 miles a day to and from work. I leave when its dark in the morning and i drive home at night when its dark. My low beams are so dim i cannot see anything further than the hood of my car. If i am driving with my low beams on oncoming traffic is flashing me to put my lights on. If i am driving with my high beams on in order to see the road i am being flashed to turn my high beams off. This started about 2 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. I paid nissan dealership $200. 00 labor to be told they could not find a problem witht he wiring and i would have to leave it with them longer to research further. I took it to a second mechanic who told me it was not the wiring that infact the reflectors are defective and i should call nissan. Its not a warranty issue and the only fix is to replace the entire headlight assy at $1,000. 00 each. I do not have that kind of money if i did i would not be commuting 100 miles a day to have a job. I have read endless complaints on this same issue and nothing is being done. I even found where a class action suit is being done and was told that once i fix the problem to please send them my defective lights for them to further research... Really!!!!
