Description of the problem	i have owned several subaru's over the years and always loved the headlights. Unfortunately, i have owned this one less than a month and i almost had an accident driving at night on the country roads in ct. The night time driving lights only illuminate to a very low height (10 feet maybe?) and have a cut off line which appears to bounce up and down on country roads, making it almost impossible to see the road or anything in the distance. When i took the car back to the dealer to have them adjust or replace the headlight bulb they said that is how it was manufactured and there was no adjustment needed. They said to drive with the high beams on it will help. I honestly think that this may (probably will if it hasn't already) cause accidents, it almost did for me and subaru should really look into a fix for this before someone loses their life.
