| The vehicle came equipped from the factory with bi-xenon auto leveling headlights manufactured by zkw. the past couple months, the light output has steadily decreased. looking at it further, brown scorch marks are visible in the projector when the headlight is on. on the driver's side, there is also distortion in the upper half of the projector which looks almost as if the top half of the projector has melted and distorted. the light output from the projectors has been reduced to a thin beam of light right below the cutoff, with the driver's side being worse than the passenger. parked 6 feet away from a wall, this strip of light extends only about 8-12 below the cutoff, putting out virtually no light below that. at night, it is becoming very difficult to see with no light in the foreground; this problem is getting progressively worse. | |||
