Consumer Description
I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE NEW HEADLIGHT THAT ARE ON NEW CARS. THEY SHIFT IN COLOR FROM A COOL WHITE COLOR TO A BLUE COLOR WHEN THE CAR BOUNCES UPWARD. I FIND THIS EXTREAMLY DISORIENTING. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN THERE ARE MORE OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD THIS SITUATION WILL PRODUCE A DRIVING STRESS AND HAZARD FOR MANY DRIVERS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE DRIVING FATIGUE AND ACCIDENTS. I THINK THAT A STUDY MUST HAVE BEEN DONE PRIOR TO APPROVING THESE NEW HEADLIGHTS AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAE BEEN SHOWN TO BE DANGEROUS. IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE. THANK YOU. *AK
