Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE THE WORST THAT I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. HAD LIGHTS ADJUSTED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT. THE ROAD DOES NOT GET VERY WELL ILLUMINATED. EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS ARE IRRITATING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC THEY DON'T DO MUCH TO HELP THE DRIVER SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS NEW.
