Description of the problem	2013 nissan altima sv. Over the past several months i have noticed the low beam headlights getting dimmer and dimmer. Thinking i just needed to replace the bulbs, i started researching what bulbs to get to replace them. It was then i discovered the true issue: the reflective coating in the headlight projector housing is being burnt off by the heat of the bulb resulting in progressively dimmer headlights over time. The high beams are fine as they are separate bulbs and do not seem to suffer this same issue. I commute 44 miles one way to work in the dark 5 days a week on 2 lane country roads. The progressively dimming headlights are a safety hazard. Soon i will not be able to safely drive this vehicle at night without using the hi beams which is a hazard to other drivers.
