Consumer Description

I CANNOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE, BUT LATE 2018/EARLY 2019, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET I NOTICED HOW DIM MY HEADLIGHTS WERE. BEING THAT MY CAR IS A 2015 MODEL, I NAIVELY EQUATED IT TO AGE AND LIGHTBULB DIMNESS; WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. I SWAPPED HEAD LIGHT BULBS, TO NO AVAIL; I OPTED FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEAD LIGHT BULB IN AUTOZONE, BUT STILL HELLA DIM. IN MY MOST RECENT VISIT TO SHEEHY NISSAN SERVICE, A RECOMMENDED SERVICE IS TO "REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY/BAD REFLECTIONS." IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE BEING RECOMMENDED, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM VOICED TO SERVICE TECHS BY MANY OTHER 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS.
