| Description of the problem | Head lights became very dim over time, even with new bulbs; eventually could only see well a few yards ahead of the car. Other cars we currently own and have previously owned have never had this problem. After searching for a solution online, had the full head light assembly replaced on both sides. This resolved the problem. Dealer did not indicate any knowledge of this problem and would not do this for free, even though this was safety hazard. Purchased the replacement assemblies from carparts. Com. Replacement was done by lexington autoworks. |
