DURING THE NIGHTTIME BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY TO THE DRIVER. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL ONLY ADJUST TO THE HIGH BEAMS. DRIVER HAS TO DECREASE SPEED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND STATED THERE WAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS WAS HOW THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DESIGNED. *AK
