Description of the problem	Headlights gradually get dimmer and dimmer making it very difficult and dangerous to drive at night. This is an obvious safety hazard. The problem is not simple wear and tear, rather it is the breaking down of certain materials within the headlight assembly. All it takes is a simple google search online of "2013 nissan altima dim headlights" or "2013 nissan altima headlight problems" to see that there are multiple websites where many people have posted the same problem. The diagnosis for me, and for everybody else i've read about online, is that the projection lenses become hazed over and/or the reflective material in the reflector bowl deteriorates, and the only way to fix the problem is to purchase the entire headlight assembly, and the average costs of parts and labor is over $1000. 00 (my estimate at the local nissan dealership/service shop is $1089. 53). Some testimonials online reported having this issue with as little as 30,000 in mileage. My issue started to arise at about 50,000 miles. This is a huge safety issue affecting many many people, thus a recall is more than warranted.
