What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan altima. The contact stated that while driving at night, the headlamps failed to illuminate the roadway sufficiently. The contact stated that the visibility was poor. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected where it was informed that the headlamps functioned as intended and also that the headlamps could not be adjusted due to the state regulation. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
Headlights are so dull that you can barely see three feet in front of you. Bulbs have been replaced but no help. After doing research there is something wrong with the reflective material behind the bulb and it fades over time. Very dangerous . Have to drive with brights on at night. My car started this about a year ago and has got progressively worse.
