2012 Taurus the headlights on the 2012 Taurus have a very sharp short cutoff that limits visibility greatly. This can only be experienced on a highway or back road where there is no back lights or other vehicles present. The cutoff projects a black line that floats up and down on the windshield that is hypnotic. If there was a bike or person walking ahead on the shoulder you would never see them in time. This problem is caused by a eyelid that drops down over the bulb when in the dim mode. When using the brights, the lights are fine. Because of oncoming traffic you cannot always use your bright setting. Luckily I own another vehicle so I can drive that one at night until Ford comes up with fix for this problem.
