| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2014 nissan altima 6 years ago. Over time the headlights have become very dim. It is almost impossible to drive at night without using my high beams because my headlights are so dim. I cannot drive in the rain at night because i can't see the markings on the highway. I have changed the bulb at least 4 times and that has not helped. I have other drivers flashing me because they think my lights aren't on. This is a real safety issue. It should not take a horrible accident with casualties to remedy this issue. There should be an immediate recall on the headlight assemblies. |
