| With the low beams on, night time visibility is poor and treacherous. i have the same problem with my volvo 960 which the serviceman states can not be adjusted any better. i hit a deer last week in the s40 and i strongly believe it would not have happened if the headlights were effective. i have owned and driven several cars before including a mazda miata and a ford explorer recently and both vehicles have excellent night time headlamp visibility. i strongly believe this is a volvo design problem. there is greater vsibility to the side than to the front of the vehicle. please investigate this issue before someone gets seriously hurt. | |||

| Headlights do not throw a beam but rather a spray of dispersed light that lights more of the side of the road than in front of the vehicle. i do not feel safe driving this vehicle at night, especially on narrow dark backroads (which i have to travel frequently). dealer said they have done everything they can.*ak | |||
