I am unable to see at night because my headlights are dim but keep passing inspection, and I am afraid I am going to crash... I have complained to my Nissan dealership since the recall was in effect but it has expired and I continuously pass inspection but when I drive at night I have to use high beams and can not see a thing. This is my 4th attempt for help.

I can not drive at night because I can see at all and I am afraid I am going to crash..The lights are so dim that it seems that they are not even on..I have to turn my high beams on just to see and I was warned that I can recieve a ticket for driving with high beams on..I went to the Nissan company and they said there was nothing they could because they didn't honor the recall on the headlight assemblies anymore and I would have to pay $1500 to replace them.

My regular headlights are not bright and cannot see 10 feet in front of my car without my high beams on. I have had my headlights "restored" by professionals and I can still not see in front of my car with my regular running headlights. This has now been an on-going issue and I am unable to drive at night because I cannot see in front of my car and I feel VERY unsafe in doing so.

I have had issues with the very bad low beam lighting at night. Its so terrible that its like having no lights on at all and riding with them on constant high beams has resulted in me being pulled over on numerous occasions by police but its also unsafe to all other drivers I pass. The low beams were why I had an accident in nov of 2023.

Your headlights have become extremely dim while driving, making it difficult to see the road at night. Two dealers diagnosed the problem as failed headlight assemblies where the filaments inside the bulbs have deteriorated. The fix will likely involve replacing the headlight assemblies or the bulbs themselves.

Headlights low beams does not work properly, you can hardly see the road at night, at first I thought it was the bulbs, but I went to buy some LED lights to see if it worked better but it did not, I even paid for my headlights to be polished, but did not see any change, I looked for information and there was a law sue against nissan for the headlights, they find out that the chrome inside the light gets deteriorated with time and that causes that the light get blurred,and the only solution is to buy new headlights, which I dont think is fair since is a manufacture problem and not a wear and tear issue, plus is a safety issue since you can not see clearly at night whenyou drive.

Low beam headlights are so dim my teenage daughter with perfect vision can barely see to drive at night on highways and backroads unless she has the high beams on. I've learned this is a common problem with this model car. I feel like this is a major safety concern that should be recalled.

Low beam headlight very dim, even after replacing bulb. Research shows low beam reflector housing is faulty, not reflecting light, creating unsafe night driving condition. Further research show only way to remedy is to replace complete headlight housing.

The headlights on this vehicle have always supplied poor lighting and it has gotten worse each year to the point now it is a safety hazard when driving at night. We have even tried replacing the bulbs at our own expense with brighter ones but it does not help.

The headlights on low beam are becoming less effective at lighting up the road at night. This began in 2017, but has gotten worse. The high beams work just fine, but the low beams are terribly dim on roads that have no street lights.

I was told that my lights seemed very dimmed. Being that I live in the city full lights so it's hard to tell but I've noticed the last couple of times I've gone out of town and had to take darker roads, the lighting on the vehicle is terrible. You can barely see 5ft in front of you and that's very dangerous while driving....someone needs to look into this and correct the problem.
