| Description of the problem | The front low beam regular headlights are way too dim now, there's barely any illumination. My wife was just pulled over last night as the officer thought she had her lights off. It's been this way for a while and so many people online are reporting the same problem. The bulbs themselves are just fine. It appears to be the reflective coating in the projector housing that burns off and then it basically stops projecting any light out. Very dangerous and now getting pulled over. This really should be a recall as you can barely see at night. Lots of similar complaints here: https://www. Carcomplaints.
