Primary projector-styled headlights loose their intensity over the years, to the point that they no longer illuminate the road at night.
Visibility has always been bad. Cannot see well driving at night. The headlights do not project.
The headlights on low beam put out almost zero light, it is a serious safety issue. There are many threads on the internet and this is is a known issue.
Low beam headlights are very dim, changed bulbs, cleaned headlights nothing fix the problem, need to change complete headlights.
Headlights no longer light the road adequately on the dim setting. Tried replacing bulbs but no improvement.
The regular headlights (not high beams) are so dim that it makes it very difficult to see at night. In low light areas (city streets) I have bumped the curb because I could not see it and when turning in low lit intersections, I am unable to see where the lanes are, making it very difficult to safely turn. I have cleaned the outer part of the headlight and replaced the lights with no improvement.
The dim headlights suddenly became dangerous when driving at night because you can't see 50ft in front of you with the lights on dim. The drivers side sun visor squeaked when the car was new and when the car was out of warranty the internal clip on the visor broke.
The low beam headlights are poor. Nissan install a brand new set of lights and I can't see but 5 feet in front of my car at night. The light illuminated is terrible. The headlight assembly is the problem. They knew it before they took my $130 to replace with lihghts that did me no good. I use high beams mostly.
I have been having trouble with my headlights. They are extremely too dim. I can barely see at night. My bright lights work great. Sometimes I feel as if they are not on. I have changed the bulbs several times. It is much dimmer on the driver side than the passenger, but the passenger side headlight is still dim. This is a safety issue. I'm not sure what to do now. I'm not sure why this has not been recalled by now. Someone will most definitely get into an accident. I have almost wrecked several times because of this. This need to be a main concern for Nissan. They are risking our lives. How many bulbs do I have to change? on dark roads I have to put my bright lights on but when another vehicle is coming then I have to cut my bright lights off. When I do this then I feel as if I'm going to go off the road. I cannot see at all. This is a very important problem and need to be addressed immediately. I'm pretty sure that there has been accidents because of this. I had to put a date on this but this has been going on since last year. I'm a nurse and I have to leave early in the am for work on a dark road. This is extremely dangerous.
Having problem with headlights. Have changed bulbs out with several different brightness. Still not very bright. Makes it very hard to see.
The driver side low beam headlight is significantly dimmer than the passenger side one. I have changed multiple bulbs and none can fix the dimness being experienced. I suspect this issue has something to do with the housing and I know other owners of the same model that have the exact same problem. Ps, I'm not the first owner of the car and I've seen this issue since purchase. So I'll set the date to today's date.
Headlights are not bright enough to safely operate vehicle at night or rainy and/or foggy weather.
I have a 2014 Nissan Altima 2. 5s model. After the first couple years I noticed the headlights getting dimer and dimer to the point where it was unsafe to drive at night. I had the oe bulbs replaced with lid lights and it did nothing for the projection of the headlamps still dim. So I than had hid bulbs put in and same thing no projection out of the lenses. I got on a Nissan forum and it talked about the inside of the lens loosing its reflecting ability. So I went to the Nissan dealer in renton where I had purchased my car and was told to call the Nissans 800 number. I did call and spoke to a jennifer. Told her everything I just stated its obvious if you look thru the lens that you can see the internal reflection ability is gone. She told me I had to take it to Nissan and pay for the diagnosis and repairs to get it back to oe. If you look at the Nissan forum this is a severe occurring issue. So yonker Nissan and Nissan of north America it seems safety is not an issue to me or my family so neither is my business that goes for both of you. . And I do hope you train your Nissan of north America staff on the magnusson act cause aftermarket gives a 10 year warranty on the lens assemblies to your 1 year. So I don't have to take it to Nissan.
Headlights are very dim. Unable to see at night while driving with low-beams on. I paid $250 to replace the headlamps with no luck. After doing some research, it appears this is a well known issue. This seems like a safety issue so I am wondering why there is no recall?.
I own a 2014 Nissan Altima, over the time of ownership I have noticed the headlights getting dimmer and dimmer, I assumed it was the bulbs aging and replaced this on 02/15/2020. The new bulbs (silvania silverstars) were supposed to be brighter. There were not much brighter. Later when I went to the dealership they suggested new headlight assemballies as the chrome painting on the insides of the lenses has faded and as a result is not reflecting much light onto the road. The estimated cost of this repair was 800$. I have never owned a car where the headlights have failed in this matter and as a student it is unacceptable and dangerous to have low beams that are so dim they do not even appear to be on at night. Googling this issues shows many forums where people are complaining about the same issue I was having with new headlight assemblies fixing the issue.
The low beam headlights are dangerously dim. It look like the cheap materials of those headlights are the problem.

When the lights are turned on to drive at night, the driver's side headlight is not as bright as the passenger side even after getting a new headlight. The light is bright when up close but is barely visible far away. Basically, you are driving with one headlight at night making it very hard to see.
About a year ago I noticed I could not see well at night. I took my car in to have the headlights replaced. I thought it was my driver side low beam. They replaced it. About a week later it still was not any better. Took it back in and they said it was fine. I replaced the bulb 2 more times and still was awful. Then I discovered that this issue was common in 2014 Altimas. I was told I could fix the issue by replacing some parts. Replaced my passenger side, but was told that because of all the issues that the driver's side low beam had melted. I have to replace the entire assembly. This will end up costing $800, for headlights. This is an extremely dangerous problem. I was told I was lucky that my car did not catch on fire. Nissan needs to fix this problem and provide the repairs. Accidents could happen due to this dangerous problem.

The headlights are very bad at night I have changed out with new ones 5 times. Also the steering have to keep being corrected when driving car wants to go into other lanes I had 2 wheel alignments in still no help.
The headlights are so dim, it is a hazard to drive at night. We replaced the bulbs and restored the lenses but nothing helps. If you search the internet, there are numerous complaints about this problem. You can't see 50' in front of you. These headlights should be recalled and Nissan should be fixing this problem don't wait for someone to get killed in a car accident before something is done please!!.
