Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: With the low beams on, night time visibility is poor and treacherous. i have the same problem with my volvo 960 which the serviceman states can not be adjusted any better. i hit a deer last week in the s40 and i strongly believe it would not have happened if the headlights were effective. i have owned and driven several cars before including a mazda miata and a ford explorer recently and both vehicles have excellent night time headlamp visibility. i strongly believe this is a volvo design problem. there is greater vsibility to the side than to the front of the vehicle. please investigate this issue before someone gets seriously hurt.
