Description of the problem	Low beam headlights became extremely dim over time. My altima currently registers 135,000 miles. I did not notice the problem because i drive the vehicle daily. However my wife, who does not drive it regularly, has mentioned the dimness to me on multiple occasions. Initially i believed the problem rested with the bulbs; however, replacing those did not improve light brightness. After an online search, it appears that the problem may be due to heat induced clouding of the projector lens. Neither headlamp assembly has been compromised. I believe that such equipment is durable in nature and that, unless damaged, should last the life of the vehicle. Finally, i've noticed that th problem is so severe that low beam light from vehicles behind me cast more light than my own low beams. Indeed i can easily see the shadow of my vehicle which is casted from the low beams of the vehicles behind me. This is a severe safety problem for me, other drivers, pedestrians, etc. It deserves the immediate attention of the nhtsa. This problem is an issue at night time, particularly when in motion since reaction time may be insufficient to avert and accident or incident
