1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2020

Headlights are inadequate, even dangerous. You can see a distinct "horizon line" in front of the car which has a sharp cutoff above which there is no illumination. In spite of their extreme intensity, these headlights illuminate everything but the road ahead. Makes me feel like I am driving without headlights. I thought they were not aligned properly but dealer says they look ok. I have since observed many similar complaints on various web sites for the Corolla over several model years. Here is one of many similar complaints found on the web: "the main front led low beam is a problem on all trims of this current generation. It is too bright and blinds oncoming drivers, there is also a hard cutoff line in which you can't see anything above it. They also poorly light the road. The beam goes everywhere but the road. It seems they are incorrectly aimed. " "when did this happen?" only allows for a single date. This is a continuous problem. Which occurs anytime you try to drive at night.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

After being blinded by ridiculously bright headlights on newer Toyota vehicles the last couple years, I recently rented a Toyota Corolla. I was horrified that the headlights on this car are legal. Not only do you blind oncoming vehicles, but you can't see safely! the brightness of these headlights is such that anything reflective blinds yourself! (road signs, etc. ) yet, somehow they don't ,in my opinion, light the road ahead adequately. They do seem to light the trees and things on the side of the road pretty well, but not what needs to be seen. Also the high beams are worthless, as the just seem to light the trees more. All of this was observed while driving in the desert of new mexico and texas on two lane highways. I am convinced americans are dying because of the inadequacies of these headlights.
