While driving through the neighborhood at night, the car has a feature to switch between high beam headlights and low beam headlights. The feature works fine, however, the difference between the high beam light and the low beam light is extremely dramatic and this makes it almost impossible for a persons eyes to readjust and focus to see at the low beam setting. The low beam lights are dangerously dim. They do not illuminate the stop signs as the driver approaches. I had to slow down to a dangerously slow speed in order to see the street signs. I bought the car 5 days ago used and didn't realize that this was a problem for this particular car. In the past 4 days, I have had the car back to the dealer 3 times to see if they can help get the low beams any brighter. They cannot!! the service manager came out to talk with me and showed me pictures of the 'housing' for the low beam lights and there are metal brackets in the way of the light, which he explained will force the light to cast too far down. This is why street signs are impossible to read at night while driving this car. Please recall it and fix this problem! the service manager did not give me a copy of the pictures or I would include them. . .
Vehicle driving headlights provide extremely low level of road illumination which is extremely dangerous such that it is necessary to switch to high beam in order to illuminate the road sufficiently to drive safely! Cadillac dealership states that the lighting level is acceptable. As you know, driving with high beams can be dangerous as well when on local roads and neighborhoods in order to see the road safely.
