File date	01/10/17
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Over a short period of time (aprox. 2 years), the headlight low-beam output has decreased to unsafe levels. At night, it is hard to tell if the headlight are even on, because they do not seem to light up the road at all. I have attempted to change the bulbs, and cleaning the lens, but neither has helped. I looked further into the issue, and it appears the reflector material inside the projector headlight has burnt off from regular use in the 2 years that i owned the car (purchased new), there is almost no reflective material left in the projector headlight. I checked with nissan dealership, and that isn't something that is covered by any of the warranties, there is also no recall for this part which i find completely unacceptable. Every single 2014+ altima that i see on the street appears to have the same issue, the road in front of the car isn't lit, and i am sure it is also due to the burned off reflectors in their headlights as well.
