| Description of the problem | Since my wife bought this car new, the low beam headlights have been dim and continue to diminish in usefulness to the point where driving with the high beams on is the better alternative. We have tried hid lighting kits but the wiring circuit can not handle the amps and the fuses will blow. Nissan needs to handle this as a recall and repair the headlights in the interest of public safety. Thank you. |
