| Description of the problem | The chrome in the low beam headlamps tends to burn out quickly which affects the projection. According to nissan consumer affairs, this is a known costly repair with 2013-2017 but mostly affects the 2013. The repair costs is quoted at $1119. 85. When the headlamps burn out the car is not drivable because it cannot pass inspection which is currently my issue. I can't afford to have this replaced which unfortunately affects my employment because i can't drive to work. |
