| Description of the problem | Factory light beams where dangerously low. Visibility was close to none, often had to drive with high beams on. I thought that it was the lightbulb which was replaced and this did not fix the issue. I had to replace the entire light compartment in order to fix the issue. Looked up online that many other drivers experienced the same issue due to a thin layer in the reflector compartment that once it fades, it causes the light to not reflect properly onto the road. This manufacturer error should be looked at, as this is a major safety hazard for drivers. |
