Head lights on low beam are set to the right and can not be modified or corrected by the dealer. During rainy/overcast nights it is impossible to see clearly to the front and to the left of the vehicle. At dusk, even though headlight indicator is on, it appears the headlights are off. On moonless nights, it is extremely difficult to see the road clearly. If a fix isn't provided someone will be killed.

When using low beam head lights, over half of the windshield ( top down) is blacked out, causing a restricted vision. There is a slight increase in vision when vehicle is being driven on an up hill grade. Vehicle was taken to the GMC dealership for correction. Service manager drove the vehicle home and experienced the reported problem. Solution to correct the restricted vision,was to adjust/raise the low beam headlights so they would shine higher to the maximum allowable by state law. This adjustment raised the black out level by a very limited level. Problem still exists. This adjustment now is causing on coming traffic and traffic we are following to think that we are using our high beam lights. Called GMC, their reply was that nothing could be done to correct the restricted vision. The problem is experienced at all speeds. Head light adjustment was not covered under warranty. We now have a restricted use of the vehicle for day time driving only.

The headlight system on this vehicle leaves a lot to be desired. The headlights are veiled somehow so that there is no illumination above the headlights with low beam. When driving in hilly areas, the forward projection of the headlights is very limited when traveling down hill. The hi beams illuminate well, but when driving in the country with oncoming traffic and low beams in hilly areas, the view of the side of the road ahead is very restricted. If I had driven this vehicle at night before I bought it, I doubt that I would have bought it, it's that bad.
