Description of the problem	When driving at night on dark, hilly roads, the headlights do not illuminate the road properly. It is as if the lights are masked horizontally with the top half dark. It is extremely scary to be driving on dark country roads that are hilly. When you are traveling down hill, you cannot see any distance in front of the car. Going uphill is almost as bad. It is almost enough to get rid of this car. Supposedly this is to keep from blinding oncoming cars. I don't buy it! This has happened multiple times when we have been traveling to state and national parks and smaller towns in southern missouri, tennessee and north carolina. The last occurrence was may 4th 2018 leaving bryson city north carolina at 9:30pm.
