| Description of the problem | The head lights on my car when on dim are dangerous. I can't see more than 20-30 feet ahead. I've changed the bulbs with no help or improvement. I've installed new halogen bulbs and contacted the dealership regarding this issue. They tell me my lights are working properly, but they haven't driven m car at night. This seems to be a widespread issue with this model. I can't safely operate my car at night and especially in the rain. I can't see the curb thus i can't see pedestrians until it's almost too late. Nissan needs to fix this problem because it's with every altima. |
