Description of the problem	I have a new xle and the headlights are dangerous. These are projector headlights that cast a very focused beam forward. It is frigtening when you drive in some roads without a lot of ambient light. With the low beams on, it is like someone painted the top half of my windshield black. There is little peripheral illumination, so i can see what is directly in front of me, and nothing else. Where the road inclines down, the illumination cuts out just a few feet off the ground, below the level of things like stop signs. There is absolutely no peripheral illumination right at the front of the car, so when i turn, i can't see what i'm turning into until it's directly in front of my car, like pedestrians. To make matters worse, the dealership told me not to use led bulbs, because it could cause electrical issues with the car.
