Consumer Description

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED FINE, NOW THEY ARE SO DIM YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE LIGHT, AND TOLD ME THAT THE CHROME AROUND THE LIGHT BULB IS NOT REFLECTING THE LIGHT OF THE BULB AND THAT IS WHY ITS SO DIM. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT HE SEES IN NISSAN ALTIMAS 2012 AND ABOVE. THE COST FOR REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS IS ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS TO FIX.
