2 Headlights problem of the 2003 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 05/16/2004

My headlights just went out in the middle of driving at night. Luckily there wasn't anyone else around me on the interstate, because that could have been a really nasty wreck. I pull over on the shoulder of the road and wiggle the wires and they came back on. I drove home and changed the light bulbs, think that would fix them. About two months later it happened again, that is when I found out that the headlight sockets on my truck were burt up. I was told that it was caused by heat from the headlights. I went to auto zone and bought new ones and replaced them. I called Nissan and they said because my truck was out of warranty they couldn't do anything about it. I just want to make sure that someone knows that a truck that is one year old is already having problems with its headlights. Also to make sure that there isn't something wrong with the head lights that Nissan puts into the cars.

4 Headlights problem of the 2002 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 12/18/2002

Vehicles with extremely bright headlights cause a danger to other drivers. I am not talking about drivers with their high beams on, I'm referring to regular headlights that are unusually bright. I was almost in an accident on the 405 freeway last night because a driver behind me with bright headlights blinded me and I veered into the next lane because we were on a curve and I couldn't see well enough to stay in my lane. I have heard many of my friends compalin about cars with bright headlights almost causing accidents for them because the light can be blinding, similar to a flash bulb on a camera going off in your face in a dark room. These bright lights should not be legal for regular driving use, they should be used only in the same conditions that high beams are used.
