| Description of the problem | 2015 nissan altima - the low beams provide insufficient lighting during night driving and creates a safety hazard. I bought the vehicle used in 2018. I replaced the bulbs but there were no improvements. Friends and family notice the problem and are afraid to drive at night in this car. Research shows the projector bowls are defective and it is going to cost me nearly $1k to replace both headlight assemblies. |
