Consumer Description
The low beam headlights provide very little illumination. Driving this vehicle at night is a safety hazard due to low light illumination. As a result, I use the high beams for better illumination coverage at night or under low light conditions. This problem is progressive and has degenerated over time. The vehicle was taken to a dealership and local repair shop. Replacing the headlight assembly was the final solution from both mechanics ($2000 repair) which is temporary as the problem will reoccur. The low beam reflective lamp housing is scorched or deteriorated due to high halogen bulb heat. I was not involved in any accidents concerning this issue. Driving this vehicle with the low beams on is like having no lights on at all.
