EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY FAINT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS IF I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. I DON'T EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER ANYMORE DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHTING BEING PROJECTED FROM MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA IT'S TOO UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS IN MY CAR AND I HAVE 20/20 VISION SO IT'S NOT MY EYES!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I HAVE HAD THE NISSAN DEALER CHECK THESE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER BORROWED MY CAR AND SHE THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. THESE HEADLIGHTS NEED A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. (HIGH BEAM IS FINE.) LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM YOU HAVE TO ALSO USE THE FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT, MY CAR HAS THEM, SOME MODELS DON,T. CHANGING THE BULBS DID NOT HELP AT ALL, OUTSIDE LENS IS CLEAR. USING HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT IRRITATES AND IS DANGEROUS TO ON COMING DRIVERS. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING LIKE THAT AT ALL. LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE SEE, THEY ARE NOT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. BULBS WERE CHANGED AND DON'T HELP. AFTER READING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS. WE CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I 1ST BOUGHT THE CAR I UPGRADED THE HEADLIGHTS TO LED LOW BEAMS. THIS PRODUCED A NICE LIGHT AND THE LIGHTING INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A VERY SHARP CUTOFF LINE. THIS WAS ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE LOW BEAMS BARELY PRODUCE A BLOB OF LIGHR AND THERE IS NO CUTOFF LINE FOR THE LIGHTS VISIBLE. MY FOG LIGHTS ACTUALLY LIGHT UP THE ROAD BETTER THAN THE LOW BEAMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH VERY VISIBLE LIGHT ACTUALLY HITTING THE ROAD. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS VERY SOON AS I DO ALLOT OF NIGHTTIME DRIVING GOING TO AND FROM WORK IN THE WINTER MONTHS. IF THE ROADS ARE WET OR DAMP THE LIGHTING DOES NOT EVEN LIGHT UP THE LANE MARKER LINES THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE ESSPECIALLY ON CURVY ROADS.

MY DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LOW. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE DIM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP AFTER VIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FEEDBACK FROM DEALERSHIPS LESS THAN HELPFUL. I KNOW THAT HEADLIGHTS (BULBS) SHOULD BE REPLACED FROM TIME TO TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACING BULBS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, IS BELOW INDUSTRY STANDARDS. AS OF NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ANY REAL INFORMATION FROM NHTSA, PRO OR CON, ON THIS ISSUE WHICH IS CONCERNING TO ME. I WOULD HOPE THAT DUE DILIGENCE AND FOLLOW UP TO CONSUMERS FROM NHTSA, ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT, IS FORTHCOMING OR AT THE LEAST DIRECTIVES ARE GIVEN AS TO RESOLUTIONS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, PURCHASING BRIGHTER BULBS DON'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED THAT. YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED CONCERNING THIS HEADLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA.
