| Description of the problem | The low beam headlights are very dim, projecting only 2-3 feet in front of the vehicle. Replacing the bulbs does not help. The reflective coating on the projection lens has worn off causing the light beam to not project well. This creates very poor visibility and is a safety hazard. |
