| Description of the problem | Very dim-invisible head light-lightening during heavy rains or dark street rides. Felt scary while driving. Almost thought that there were no head lights on the car. From that point i was really noticing and this is the rating i give for the lighting the road at night during motion -> 2/10 stationary ->6/10 city street ->6/10 please look into this and for sure you'll find this "defect" in the brightness of headlights. |
