| Description of the problem | My 2008 toyota solara headlights are really scary to drive with at night. The visibility is almost none. The high beams are like regular beams on every other car. My low beams are nonexistent. My friend has a 2007 toyota solara and had the same issue. I have taken it to the toyota dealership to only be told that they do not adjust and that there was nothing they could do. This is very dangerous. To the point i do not even drive at night, and i am a 33 year old woman. My car is in the shop as we speak once again due to this problem. But not only are the beams low, but both are now nonfunctional. The shop can not find any defect or wires loose. I have read many forums to be knowledgeable that this is a ongoing issue and a manufacturer situation. |
