Description of the problem	Purch 2016 toyota awd rav4 1 wk ago. Never tried lights b4 purch as was daylight. The next morning w/dark going to work i used the headlights to find out you cant see w/them. I have never had headlights i couldnt see with. On dim: beams short footage in front of vehicle & the field of vision is dark w/line of darkness above beam & you cannot see any futher. Like you are in a big black tunnel. You dont have a field of vision on the front & sides of the vehicle at all! The driver could possably hit something or a pedestrian, etc. Due to improper vision lighting. I had to stop & roll down the drivers window so i could make sure i was turning left correctly on the road to my home at night. I live in the country with no street lights. High beam: beam up at the tree tops in front of you cris crossed. With these headlights you have no field of vision! I am afraid to drive after dark because i cannot see at all! I have taken vehicle to dealership where purchased & they state cant adjust them but they did try to. Vision was/is still bad. I took vehicle to another dealership to see if might know how to adjust & they stated same thing. They checked the lights, stated lights were in toyota's specs & is little room for adjustment. I tried using again this morning & still bad field of vision. I called & asked dealership to file official complaint w/toyota concerning the bad field of vision of these headlights, due to being afraid i might hit something i cant see & be killed or injured or hit someone else i cant see & injure or kill them. The problem w/headlights needs to be addressed immediatlly before this happens w/me or someone else. The dealership stated they have complaints about the headlights all the time. Bought as retirement vehicle costing $30,000. 00 & cant see to drive. I do not know what my recourse is. Please help me if you can before major mishap! Thanks
