Description of the problem	About 1. 5 years ago, i noticed my driver's side headlight suddenly become dim, a few weeks later, the same with the pax light. It made it difficult to see at night to the point i was driving with high beams. I went to get the required rejected sticker for the car and was rejected due to the lights. After replacing the bulbs twice with 2 separate mechanics, still no appropriate lighting & a second sticker rejection. I was quoted by 2 separate mechanics between $850-1000 to replace both of the lighting units with aftermarket parts and i just do not have that money to give. I recently discovered that there are others with this same problem so, seems that it is a manufacturer's defect. I called nissan today to ask about a recall but, there isn't one. I asked for nissan to pay for the replacements & was told that they would call me back after assessing the year, mileage, repair history, etc... Locally, i only drive locally because i've been driving virtually blindly and illegally for 1+ year now frustrated to not have a solution. I hope that nissan will recognize the issue and pay for the repair.
