| Description of the problem | The dim lights are so weak that i can not see as much as a foot in front of my vehicle at night time., when driving at night i have to drive with high beems on at all times. I work night shift and need the dim lights when meeting someone on the highways. When researching this problem, i see many people with the same complaints and yet nissan will not look into the defects of the headlamp assemblies that they are using. It is said that the projectors have been burning out causing dim lights no to work and the cost to fix is greater than 1200. With nissan. |
