| Description of the problem | The lights are too dim to drive at night. The beam does not reach me if i stand in front of either headlight. I have to use my high beams to feel safe driving on rural roads or highways after dark. I have had many near - accidents with curb dividers in the center lanes that are not well lit because my lights do not illuminate the road in front of me well enough! One incident about a year ago resulted in a collision of my car and the curb divider-there were no street lamps nearby, and it was dark and rainy and i simply did not see the divider due to lack of headlights. |
