It increases danger when it rains and/or foggy weather during nighttime.visited dealership and brought up issues, but mbenz can't fix it since it passes its standard.

My 2017 Mercedes Benz gls 450 has standard halogen lighting from the factory. It has very poor visibility in rainy, fog conditions. Also very poor visibility in urban areas where there is partial street lighting. The low bean headlights are too dim to see infront of vehicle. This is very big SUV and feel it is safety hazard to drive with the standard lighting.

The standard headlights are extremely dim and unsuitable for nighttime driving. They have a brightness roughly equivalent to parking lights. This is a problem known to Mercedes according to many online boards. My vehicle is unsafe for night driving and needs to be retrofitted with some usable headlights. Visibility is only about 10 feet in front of the car which is unacceptable for highway driving.
