Even with brand new, and appropriate replacement lightbulbs do not provide any sufficient light. Very dangerous and cannot see at dark and almost not drivable without using brights option. Can get stopped by police for assumption that headlights are not appropriately on for the safety of the road for the driver and other drivers. |
