1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2021

While driving at night my dim headlights are so dim its as if they are not even on. It doesnt matter if im driving in the city or country its hard and getting harder to see the highway. Ive come close to having an accident several times. Only prevention was switching to high beam to be able to see. So if I end up having an accident due to this somebodys going to be served and spend more money than what they could have by preventing it. This is dangerous. How many people have to go through this? how many accidents were caused by this that resulted in death? we dont know bc they are dead!.

2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2020

My headlights are extremely dim when driving at night. I replaced the halogen bulbs, and it did not fix the problem. I also tried to switch to led bulbs, but that did not fix it either. On highways, it's hard to see street signs and on multi-lane freeways, the lane markers are harder to see because I'm going at a faster speed. On top of that, I cannot see further ahead on any road and oncoming car's headlights that are brighter than mine make the problem even worse. I need this problem fixed.

3 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2019

The last couple months I noticed the headlight were getting dimmer. I replaced the bulbs with ones that are 60% brighter but it was marginally brighter. I can barely see a few feet in front if it's completely dark. I can see my car's shadow cast from the lights of the car behind me. I cannot tell if the lights are on until I'm right behind a vehicle. Road signs are barely luminated and I have to switch to high beams if there are no cars ahead of me.

4 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2018

The low beam headlights are not bright enough. Halogen, low beam (h11) bulbs are what is required for this vehicle, but ot is not bright enough. Switching out the halogen for hid and led is also not bright enough. The low beam lights illuminate up to 1 - 2 feet in front of vehicle. While driving at night the low beam is not bright enough to see what is in front of you and is a safty issue.
