What owners wrote
At night time when the vehicle head lamps are on, there are two triangular shaped objects that are shadowed from part of the head lamp housing. These project into the distance and are an obstruction and make the driver dizzy and it appears as though there is something ahead that you may hit. These shapes also move from side to side as you drive around bends in the road making it even worse and making the driver and the passengers dizzy. It is extremely dangerous and will likely cause an accident.
