Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving the car at night the headlights seemed extremely dim i could barely see items on the side of the road and was definitely out driving the distance the low beams were casting down the road. The had gotten progressively worse over time but driving it everyday you get used to it until i drove my wife's car and noticed the major difference. After having it diagnosed simply replacing the headlight bulbs wouldn't fix it and the entire headlight assemblies had to be replaced which would cost nearly $1,000. The bulbs basically melted the inside face of the projector lens and wouldn't let light thru. After complaining to nissan usa they said they would cover 70% of the cost. I don't believe an owner should be expected to replace an entire headlight assembly after 5 years and that they've made a product that is unsafe and set to fail.
