Description of the problem	Over the past several months the low beam headlights have been steadily deteriorating to the point they have become a safety hazard. The initial thought that the bulbs required replacement; however, this has not remedied the issue. The headlight lenses are not yellowed or fogged over, and the headlight bulbs are brand new high-quality headlight lamps. There is no other known issue with the headlights. The high beam work without issue and it is becoming more frequent to where the high-beams are needed to supplement nighttime lighting in areas where liow beams should be more than sufficient. The low beam lighting is at the point to where it is becoming a hazard to me as the driver; but also, is becoming a hazard to oncoming drivers, as the use of high-beam lighting is being used more frequently. The brighness of the low beam light does not change if the vehicle is parked, standing, or in motion, and the dim lighting is most hazardous when driving around corners or on dark roads without street lighting. The car has not been seen by nissan or a mechanic because it is out of the warranty period and estimates to inspect the lighting issue begins at $80. A simple internet search indicates that this is a frequent issue, and i would appreciate any feedback or information the nhtsa might be able to provide on this and related issues.
