Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY LIMITED DURING NIGHT DRIVING. THERE IS A VERY DEFINED LINE BETWEEN PROJECTED LIGHT AND SURROUNDING DARKNESS. WHEN TRAVELING UP OR DOWN EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SLOPE, THE LIGHTS POINT DOWN INTO THE ROAD DIRECTLY AHEAD, GIVING NO VIEW OR REACTION TIME OF POSSIBLE OBSTACLES, PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR STALLED/PARKED CARS. THERE IS NO PERIPHERAL LIGHTING TOWARDS THE FRONT QUARTER SO WHEN A TURN ONTO AN INTERSECTING ROADWAY OR DRIVEWAY IS NECESSARY, IT IS COMPLETELY DARK AND ANY OBJECTS, PEOPLE OR ANIMALS CANNOT BE SEEN. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS NIGHT-DRIVING I HAVE EVER DONE IN ANY AUTO/TRUCK. *TR
