Consumer Description

HEADLIGNTS ARE SO DIM ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS. I HAVE GONE TO THE ACTUAL CADILLAC SEWELL DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THE LIGHTS ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE WAY TOO DIM. I ASKED THEM TO PLACE A BRIGHTER LIGHTBULB, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO DO THAT SINCE IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE. THEY SAID IT WAS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND REPLACING THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE WAS $1500 PER HEADLIGHT, MAKING $3000 TO MAKE HEADLIGHTS SAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE CONSUMER PAY FOR FOR A PROBLEM NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER. THEY MENTIONED THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE WITH MANY OF MY CAR AND MAKE.
