| It was necessary to replace the driver side headlamp assembly. after doing so i noticed a tremendous difference in the new headlamp and the original. the original beam was so diffused and yellow colored that my night time vision was reduced greatly. i replaced the passenger headlamp assembly also, to improve my night time driving. after this occurence i have noticed other vehicles with the same problem. this is something that happens over time and is a serious safety issue regarding night time visibility. | |||
