| Description of the problem | The following has been an on-going situation. I have to use the high beam headlights at night because the low beam headlights do not provide sufficient illumination of the road to drive safely. I know that driving using high beams with on-coming traffic is not a solution, but neither is driving without proper illumination of highway in front of you. I have researched the problem and found many other nissan altima owners reporting the same problem with no apparent solution despite replacing the headlight bulbs, changing to hid or led bulbs, etc. |
