| Description of the problem | With time, the headlights on my car have deteriorated to the point where they may as well not be on at all after dark. It isn't the bulbs themselves, but an issue with the headlamp. It is incredibly dangerous, and i can barely drive my car at night-- let alone drive it safely. I've researched the issue, and it appears that there are many other nissan altimas made in 2013 and 2014 that have this same issue. The problem persists at all times, except when the bright lights are on. The headlights have been failing for some time now, and getting steadily worse each day. |
