Consumer Description

POOR VISIBILITY AT NIGHT DUE TO POOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. HIGH BEAMS EQUIVALENT TO WHAT LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE. HAVE EVEN REPLACED HEADLIGHTS WITH USED PARTS WITH MORE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL INTACT. HAVE PURCHASE POLISHING KITS FOR LENS. LENS REMAINS YELLOWED AND SCRATCHED, AND LIGHTING DIM DESPITE USE OF SYLVANIA SILVER STAR BULBS. NO NEW HALOGEN LIGHTS AVAILABLE, AND USE PARTS ARE WELL OVER 100 A PIECE, AND CONTAIN THE SAME DEFECTS. HID KITS ARE $150+. OWNER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AFTERMARKET ENHANCEMENTS TO VEHICLE TO ALLOW FOR SAFE NIGHT DRIVING WHEN HEADLIGHT DIMNESS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE INHERENT DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS.
