Headlights Problems of Chevrolet Camaro

The headlights have become progressively dimmer over time. Replacing the bulbs and the ballast does not remedy the issue. What happens is the reflector inside the projector starts to fail which directly affects the light output. The only fix for this is completely new headlight housings. Which are almost $2,000 just for the assemblies. As of now it is literally impossible to drive my vehicle at night safely.

The hid headlamps on the 2010 Camaro ss are not providing enough light to illuminate the road which is a safety hazard when driving at night. The vehicle headlights over the last year have become unacceptably dim. There are many reports from other owners of 2010 Camaro ss that report the same problem with many pointing to the problem being the hid system reflector housing getting damaged by the heat from the bulb causing insufficient level of light being reflected out in front of vehicle. With the severely diminished visibility from the headlights a driver cannot see further than 30 feet or so in front of the car at night. Visibility is much worse if rain present at night. I'm forced to use my car at any time of the day including night and I have been very close to having an accident multiple times due to poor visibility, my understanding is that there has not been fatalities reported related to this issue yet but it s a matter of time and we shouldn't wait until there are fatalities or injuries before this issue is addressed and a recall is issued by chevy. The headlight assembly is the problem and there are other unsuspecting owners that continue to drive their cars each day with this severe safety issue. Thank you.

The headlights on my Camaro 2ss with hid headlights have gotten so dim that I am afraid to drive the car at night because the car doesn't light up the road at all. I only use it during the day. If I need to go somewhere at night I have to use my other vehicle. I went to the local Chevrolet dealer and was told it was $125. 00 to see what is going on. I've read all over the internet that everyone that has these cars are having the same problem. I think there needs to be a recall on these lights so we can be safe without having to spend $1500. 00 to replace both headlights.

On 2010 model ss/rs with high intensity discharge headlamps (regular production option code t4f; I believe the code is), the visibility of the headlamps is severely diminished after the first couple of years due to heat from the required zenon bulb. Heat from the bulb, causes the plastic reflective dish at the rear of the light assembly to warp and crack the mirror reflective finish causing diminished throw (distance) from the headlights. With the severely diminished visibility from the headlights, a driver (me) cannot see much further than 30 feet or so in front of the car at night. If rain is present at night, a driver (me) cannot see the road at all except for the center line street markings and sometimes the road shoulder or curb just near the front end of the car. This makes it impossible to drive the vehicle at night and especially in raining conditions. I have changed the bulbs twice using the same manufacturer bulbs before identifying this defect in manufacturing with no change in result. This a huge safety issue for all 2010 and up models with high intensity discharge headlamps with severely diminished visibility putting drivers at harms risk and other drivers around vehicles with the same defect. Making it difficult if not impossible to see lines in the road adequately, pedestrians, construction markers and roadway shoulders and curbs and could lead to accidents that could've been prevented. There has been no TSB or response from Chevrolet that I could find regarding remedy to this issue and it needs to be researched and looked at. It has taken me this long to figure out what the problem is after researching with other owners having the same issue. With the difficulty to diagnose that the headlight assembly is the problem, other unsuspecting owners continue to drive their cars each day with this severe safety issue. Issue is inside the light assembly.

On rs models with the hid headlights, the plastic reflector for the hid capsule cracks and breaks down, greatly reducing light output. This is an internal component to the headlight assembly.
