Consumer Description

THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP ON THE MAXIMA IS 2" BELOW THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. 31/2" CENTER TO CENTER. WHEN THIS VEHICLE IS ONCOMING WITH THE HEADLAMPS ON, THE TURN SIGNAL IS VIRTUALLY BLOTTED OUT BY THE GLARE OF THE HEADLAMP. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES. THIS CONDITION IS EVEN WORSE FOR ONE THAT WEARS EYEGLASSES AND/OR HAS MILD CATARACTS AS THIS CAUSES THE ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS TO APPEAR TO FLARE. THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP SHOULD NEVER BE CLOSER THAN 6" TO THE HEADLAMPS. CONDITIONS: VEHICLE STOPPED AND READY TO TURN. WORSE AT NIGHT. CITY STREET OR COUNTRY ROAD.
