| Description of the problem | The low beam headlights do not project enough light to drive safely at night. This issue has gotten worse over time forcing the constant use of high beams in order to drive after dark. Driving with low beams creates a safety issue because the low beams only illuminate about a car length and driving constantly with high beams also creates a safety hazard. I replaced the bulbs 3 times in 3 months choosing brighter bulbs each time, as well as buying factory bulbs from the nissan dealer, but nothing changed. |
