| Description of the problem | The headlight low beams were very dim. I replace the entire headlight assembly. About 1/3 of the reflective surface inside the projector was burn off and parts were cracked from the heat of the head lamp. The headlights were so dim at times it was impossible to see the road. This is a very unsafe condition and should not happen in a five year old car. The dealer wanted about $1000. 00 to repair as both the right and left headlight assemblies need to be replaced. I was able to purchase the genuine nissan parts for about half that price and i did it myself. |
