| My 2001 nissan maxima headlights glaze over constantly which causes loss of visibility in bad weather and at night. my wife has a hard time driving the car because there is not sufficient illumination coming from the headlights. the dealer told me to use wax on the headlights to remove the glazing. this does not correct the problem. i feel that this is a safety hazard that needs to be corrected immediately. *nm | |||
