Consumer Description

Headlights becoming increasingly dim and barely have any light coming out - do not feel safe driving at night - unable to see very far in front of me in road - dangerous for pedestrians, obstacles in road, oncoming drivers Headlights from cars behind me light up the road better than my own headlights often have to use brights to actually see Similar issue reported and recalled for Acura ILX models Yes, auto body shop confirmed that voltage and bulbs were fine - would have to replace entire assemblies to rectify the issue
