Consumer Description

PROBLEM WAS PRESENT FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT TRUCK NEW. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, ONCE TO REPLACE BULBS AND REPROGRAM THE BCM. STILL NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY ADJUSTED HEADLIGHT UP TO HIGH END OF SPEC. STILL NOT BRIGHT. I'M TO THE POINT OF INSTALLING AN AFTER MARKET HID KIT.
