Description of the problem	The headlight projector housing has "failed" after 6-7 years. The reflective coating in the projector housing no longer works properly, with absolutely no damage to them. Even with brand new headlight (lowlight) led bulbs pushing 10,000 lumens, the headlights barely project 30-50 feet in front of the car, and does not allow for proper lighting at night. This is a major safety hazard and nissan needs to set a recall for this on all 2013-2015 nissan altima(s). Many people online are complaining about this, and nissan's response is to charge people upwards of $1000 to replace the headlights completely. This needs to be forced as a recall, please!
