| Description of the problem | Low beam headlights over time are extremely dim. Illumination is not adequate to drive at night. This is reportedly a manufacturing defect in the projector not the bulb dimming or burning out. Vehicle is dangerous to drive at night. The internet is filled with similar complaints so my vehicle is not an isolated incident. |
