Fog Light Switch problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima

Hello, I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima. I'm writing because I believe the headlight assembly on this vehicle are defective. They've quickly corroded and do not provide the proper lighting for safe driving at night. The lighting is extremely dim, and hazy at all times. I often have to use my fog lights to drive at night which are brighter than my headlights. If I'm able to without impacting another drivers vision I have to drive with high beams. I am a 22 year old with 20/20 vision so therefore the issue is not my own vision or motor skills. I have replaced both headlights 2 times in the past year with high grade headlights and it has made zero difference. I also see this is a common problem with this generation of Nissan Altima�s. The vehicle has this issue at all times.

When I 1st bought the car I upgraded the headlights to led low beams. This produced a nice light and the lighting increased significantly with a very sharp cutoff line. This was about 18 months ago. Now the low beams barely produce a blob of lighr and there is no cutoff line for the lights visible. My fog lights actually light up the road better than the low beams. This is very dangerous driving at night with very visible light actually hitting the road. I will need to replace these headlights very soon as I do allot of nighttime driving going to and from work in the winter months. If the roads are wet or damp the lighting does not even light up the lane marker lines this makes it very hard to drive esspecially on curvy roads.

Hello, I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima s with 115,000 miles on it. The other night I was pulled over for not having my headlights on. The thing is, my headlights were on. My headlights are so incredibly dim (as a result of a factory defect in my vehicle) that the police officer behind me couldn't tell that they were on. I was given a warning and told that I need to address this problem. I have tried to address this issue in the past. I've been to the Nissan dealership twice about this, both times I was told that this is a well known issue but there is nothing that can be done besides changing the entire headlight assembly. Even if I do, I was told, this problem will likely happen again. The plastic that immediately surrounds my headlight is cheap, and as it heats up, it produces a gas that fogs up the entire headlight. The left headlight is completely useless and the right one I have around 3 feet of visibility. This has been happening since my car had 25,000 miles on it and I am fed up with it. It is too dangerous for me to drive at night without my high beams on. I know this is happening to lots of other people too. Here are several articles I found after 30 seconds of searching on google: https://www. Nissanclub. Com/threads/headlights-too-dim-cant-see-solution. . Read more...

I bought my 2015 Nissan Altima new on October 1, 2014. Because I usually drive in urban areas with good street lighting, I did not notice my weak low beam headlights until July 2, 2017. I went to one dealership which told me my lights were ok. I subsequently got �warnings� from 2 police officers who told me my lights were too dim. I then took the car to another Nissan dealership where no problem was found. I took it back to the first dealership which again found no problem. I then got pulled over a third time. Took my car to an independent mechanic who changed the headlights (charged me about $150) which did not help. I then called and wrote to Nissan: phone customer service refused to talk to me and my letter to a company officer went unanswered. I then went to another mechanic specializing in headlights, showed them my original and the replacement headlights (both sets were good), so he suggested that I get hid headlights. Those cost about $250, and did not help. When I took my car to a Nissan dealership in alexandria, va, that dealership diagnosed moisture in my headlights and said that since I'd always gotten maintenance and repairs at a dealership, they would have gotten Nissan to split the cost of repairs. But since I'd hadhid headlights installed, I'd have to pay the entire $1,600 cost of repairs myself. I've had to drive at night with my high beams on. My headlights are not strong enough to reach the bumper of the car in front of mine while stopped at a traffic light. Early next month, I'm going to pay another $500 for a new headlight assembly + installation of fog lights, because the mechanic at the specialized shop (who has a 2014 Nissan Altima with the same problem) says that this is a faulty design. All in all, I'll have spent almost $1,000 on a problem Nissan knows about and won't address. I have videos that clearly show this problem.
