Description of the problem	Dt: 2005 subaru outback - the problem was with the headlights. They did not provide enough light to drive safely at night. While driving at night, the consumer could not see. There was very limited road way vision, with only a couple hundred feet in front of the car that was lit up properly, from that point on it was just black. The consumer had to drive with the high beams on to get home safely. The consumer spoke to the dealership and they said that it was the design of the headlights. The dealership said there was nothing that they could do to adjust them. *jb
