Consumer Description

2013-2018 Nissan Altimas manufactured with halogen headlamps (“Class Vehicles”) have a defect that causes an interior reflecting surface of the headlamp to deteriorate, resulting in dimming of the low beam headlights. Took mine to Nissan of Lumberton and they said it passed there test they come up with. Still can’t see about 10ft in front of you and less than that when foggy or raining. Can’t drive with high beams on everywhere.
