| Description of the problem | Dim low beam headlights. Over the past 1. 5 + years the headlights have been progressively been getting dimmer. It is to the point that driving is dangerous as it is difficulty to see the roadway and oncoming areas. I had this checked at dealership and was advised that the lenses are degrading. Was told that there was no recall or fix by nissan. Changing bulbs would not help. They quoted an approximate replacement of $1000. 00 to $1200. 00 with all new headlight assembly. This was the only fix available as the lenses cannot be replaced. The entire assembly has to be replaced. |
