We all know what's going on. Nissan refuses to fix our headlights. Meanwhile we can't see at night. Thankfully, I found and want to share with all of you, a link for the class action lawsuit that will help us to take care of our issue. [link removed]
The headlights for this vehicle are extremely dim and unsafe when driving at night! They are so dim that other oncoming cars will flash their headlights at me thinking I am using running daylights or have no lights on at all!! I cannot see the road well at night at all and am forced to use the high beams for safety! I originally believed that the issue was the bulbs themselves and I have replaced them twice with no resolution to the issue.
