| Description of the problem | Low beam headlights on my 2014 altima have become really dim to see at night. The mechanic changed the light bulbs but this did fix the problem. He said the projector (lens) material inside the headlight assembly is corroded and that the whole headlight assembly needs to be replaced. This is a very serious safety problem since it affects visibility at night, and nissan should provide a remedy for this manufacturing defect. |
