Headlights crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 the visibility provided by the head light assembly (high and low beam), is less than the standard for night driving conditions and almost non-existent when making turns on dark roads. High beams are the equivalent of dimmed low beams when driving at night. There are plenty of forum discussions regarding this issue with most everyone agreeing on a head assembly flawed design. I noticed this issue after purchasing this vehicle (new) from a Ford dealership. I have already heat a deer due to inadequate lights. When making right turn cannot see what turning into. This do not show up on other cars I driven. I have asked several dealers about this was ignored.

I tried replacing oem light bulbs with sylvania hid ($112 each) despite the fact that hid light bulbs are already standard on the Ford Taurus, with no results.
