Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS VERY POOR LIGHTING OUTPUT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. THE PROJECTOR LAMPS ARE TERRIBLE. THERE ARE NO HIGH BEAMS. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF SHUTTER THAT MOVES TO REDIRECT THE LIGHT. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WORSE THAN THE LOW BEAMS. WORSE HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER HAD ON A CAR I OWNED. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT PERIOD THEN ADD SOME RAIN AND A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT REALLY GETS EVEN WORSE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THESE LIGHTS ALMOST HITTING A PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES. I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT AT ALL COSTS. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE SO I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE I GUESS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR AT NIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A CHANCE IN HELL THAT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT
