| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The headlights are too dim for safe night driving. i have replaced both assemblies and bulbs (right and left) with new ones, as well as checked the eletrical system, and the light output is still so weak that driving at night is unsafe. i replaced the assemblies because the reflective material on the inside of the assembly had been burned off by the bulbs. (the assembly is less than three inches in height. the close proximity to the bulb in combination with poor reflective material resulted in the material burning or flaking off.) even with the new assemblies, with all the reflective material intact, and clear unyellowed lenses, the light output is still too weak for safe night driving. i can only assume the problem is due to bad design.*ak |
