THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO LIGHT UP THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHTS WHICH IS UNKIND FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ONLY REACH OUT ABOUT TWO VEHICLE LENGTHS. I'VE HAD IT BACK TO FORD ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH ONES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO REACH OUT AN ADDITIONAL 120 FEET BUT THEY ARE JUST AS BAD.
