| Consumer was disappointed with headlights. as long as he was driving in day light everything was fine. but, when he was driving at night he could not see. the low beam gave him an approximate distance of 75 feet in front. consumer complained to dealer, but was told by dealer there was nothing that could be done because that was the way the lightening system was designed. also, consumer was told that even if he had the headlights changed it would not be any different because the type of beams that fitted this vehicle were all the same, and they could not be adjusted. consumer was afraid that he could be in an accident because it was hard to see at night. *ak *sc | |||
