| Description of the problem | I was driving the car one evening and when the headlights automatically came on i noticed they were significantly dimmer then normal. I rode about a week or so with the dim headlights and it appeared that they were gradually getting dimmer until one of the bulbs eventually went out. I had both bulbs replaced and the headlights remained severly dim. So dim that there is no light being emitted onto the road and i have to use high beams when traveling after dark. |
