Description of the problem	When your turn signal lights are brighter than your low beam headlights you know you have a nissan altima. Low beam headlights are extremely dim. Have replaced bulbs with maximum brightness twice. Poly-carbonate housing is still relatively clear, no change in condition. Driving at night is harrowing. On highway, when cars are behind, their headlights create a shadow that the altima beams cannot overcome. On city streets or county roads if there are no street lights the low beams project about 20 feet. High beams ok until encounter on-coming traffic and must switch to low beams. At that point you are totally in the black due to the altima weak beams and the on-coming headlights. The best you can do is hope that a white line is painted on the edge of the roadway and try to stay in the lane. Fog conditions at night are horrible with weak low beam lights. Visibility is about 3 feet. Turning high beams on makes it equally bad. I can try to take some comparison pictures if nhtsa thinks it will help clarify this well documented issue with the nissan altima. Research indicates that reflector used in lighting housing goes bad and very little light is actually projected, no matter what bulb is installed. My vehicle is almost unusable at night and definitely in rain or fog. Absolutely will not let my teen drive the altima at night. This is a dangerous safety issue that needs usg support. Nissan refuses to take any responsibility - refuting claims by owners and stating over $1000 to fix the issue. Nissan will not recall without usg intervention and we need nhtsa's help!
