| Description of the problem | My low beam headlights have just gotten super dim that i feel very unsafe driving at night. I purchased the car new and over time the low beam headlight projection dimmed over time that i feel uncomfortable driving at night. I replaced the bulb and that didn't work. I then upgraded to led lighting and the lighting projection is still to dim to drive at night. I mentioned it to my dealer several times and called nissan to report this and they said they did not have a recall for this matter. My car has 72,000 miles on it and has had this problem for over 2 years. Headlights don't light up no more than 15 ft which is no good while driving at 55mph. |
