| Description of the problem | Halogen projection headlights are unsafe. They do not illuminate the sides and upper part of the road and cause a moving line in the center of your field of vision where there is darkness about the line making it impossible to see clearly at night using the low beams. On a downhill, the area of illumination is cut off and unsafe - have to use high beams in order to see the road. This line also bounces around with the bumps on the road and causes me to get nauseous when driving with low beams at night. This was not a one time incident: this happens when driving the car at night since i have owned the car. |
