What owners wrote
For a variety of reasons I have had no occasion to drive the car at night in rain using full wipers until aug. 28, 2002. At that time I discovered that the low beams provided no illumination in the rain and I had to use high beams. On sept. 5, I discussed the rpoblem with dealer service personnel and was advised it was a common problem and I should go to western auto and get them to install "blue" bulbs. These would help.
