Description of the problem	Low beam headlights way too quickly, become unsafe due to well known faulty manufacturer defect. Faulty part may be called "reflector". Light output quality is not safe! Neither the right or left headlight provide enough light to safely operate my vehicle when driving at night. This is a well know issue! Yet, nissan has not issued a safety recall??? However, this nissan manufacture well known safety defect will be fixed through nissan for the obscene cost of approximately $1000. Disgusting, sad, and unacceptable! After researching, there are many, many drivers, myself included, that have been forced to file complaints with the nhtsa. Unfortunately for me, i did not know about the high amount of customers having to spend so much money to fix a problem nissan knows about?? I purchased new high quality replacement bulbs, had headlights re-aimed, and had headlight covers professionally cleaned. Nothing helped!! After researching, it appears the well know issue is a faulty part enclosed inside of the headlight assembly. I believe it is called a "reflector"? I have wasted $200 for new bulbs, re-aiming, and having lenses cleaned. This again, is flat out disgusting. Had nissan informed me of this defect, i would not have wasted my time and money. I also suffered severe frustration when all that i tried did not help. All the while nissan knew i was wasting my time, money, and well being. Please hold nissan accountable. A less vigilant driver may not realize the dangerous situation they are driving in, and... Thank you nhtsa!
