Low beam headlights are too dim. I can't see well at night as a result. Dealer told me the bulbs are fine and that the problem resides with the headlight assembly. Film has developed on the lense/projector. Nissan wants to charge me $1,300 to fix this which is unacceptable. My car is well kept (garaged)...

It's very difficult to see with only the low beam headlights on. Headlights are so dim that I can not see more than a foot in front of me especially if there are no street lights. It's pretty much like driving with no headlights on. Even people that have ridden in my car can tell the headlights are nonexistent. I suffered some front end damage to my car after hitting a garbage can that I did not see when I was driving home at night. This is truly a very dangerous situation. I have tried to get a bright built (60% more vision); however, it does not help.

The headlights on my 2015 Nissan Altima have continued to get dim. I can barely see at night, while parked or driving. It looks like my lights are not on at all from the driver's seat. My brights work fine. I changed both bulbs to led and there is no change. This is extremely dangerous. I am going to buy new headlight assemblies for both the driver and passenger side.

When your turn signal lights are brighter than your low beam headlights you know you have a Nissan Altima. Low beam headlights are extremely dim. Have replaced bulbs with maximum brightness twice. Poly-carbonate housing is still relatively clear, no change in condition. Driving at night is harrowing. On highway, when cars are behind, their headlights create a shadow that the Altima beams cannot overcome. On city streets or county roads if there are no street lights the low beams project about 20 feet. High beams ok until encounter on-coming traffic and must switch to low beams. At that point you are totally in the black due to the Altima weak beams and the on-coming headlights. The best you can do is hope that a white line is painted on the edge of the roadway and try to stay in the lane. Fog conditions at night are horrible with weak low beam lights. Visibility is about 3 feet. Turning high beams on makes it equally bad. I can try to take some comparison pictures if NHTSA thinks it will help clarify this well documented issue with the Nissan Altima. Research indicates that reflector used in lighting housing goes bad and very little light is actually projected, no matter what bulb is installed. My vehicle is almost unusable at night and definitely in rain or fog. Absolutely will not let my teen drive the Altima at night. This is a dangerous safety issue that needs usg support. Nissan refuses to take any responsibility - refuting claims by owners and stating over $1000 to fix the issue. Nissan will not recall without usg intervention and we need NHTSA's help!

Low beam lights are extremely faint when driving at night or bad weather it's extremely difficult to see everyone always asks if I have my lights on. I don't even drive at night or bad weather anymore due to the lack of lighting being projected from my 2015 Nissan Altima it's too unsafe for myself and others in my car and I have 20/20 vision so it's not my eyes!

I have spent over 500 on lights bulbs and lighting on this Altima 2015 '..the headlights or the bulbs are trash there R very very very dim few months after purchase, I was told to change, replace, restoration its like im getting the run around and not fix the problem and its ridiculous to produce poor lighting on a car and something needs to be done immediately now!! I drive in the day now when I have to drive at night cause no lights have to use bright lights to see whom ever it may concern this need to be recall noooowww before somebodies die because of a simple fix that Nissan seems like they don't want to address until someone dies in a crash '..now!!!!!

The headlights on this vehicle have been replaced twice. I have had the Nissan dealer check these headlights and they say there is nothing wrong with them. The headlights are a severe safety hazard for night driving. I have to use my brights to be able to see at night. My granddaughter borrowed my car and she thought the headlights were off. These headlights need a safety recall before someone gets killed.

- Conroe, TX, USA

Driver and passenger head lights dim, not projecting enough light to provide clear path of visibility while driving at night. Both inner bulbs have hazed over to a cloudy white, no longer clear, and not allowing light through. Brought vehicle to my local Nissan dealer, was told both headlights needed to be replaced, and the $1100 repair would not be covered by extended warranty.

Headlights are very dim. Bulbs were changed and don't help. After reading online this is a common issue. The entire assembly needs to be replaced for both headlights. We can only drive at night with the high beams on! this is very dangerous. This occurs all the time and has gotten progressively worse.

Low beam headlights are very dim. (high beam is fine.) low beams are so dim you have to also use the fog/driving lights to see at night, my car has them, some models don, T. changing the bulbs did not help at all, outside lens is clear. Using high beams at night irritates and is dangerous to on coming drivers. I don't like driving like that at all. Low beams should be bright enough to be see, they are not.

- Palatka, FL, USA

The headlights of my Nissan Altima 2015 is really week and is becoming weaker day by day to the point it's hazardous to drive at night especially in rain, snow or fog. I have noticed that there is accummulation of water vapor inside the headlight assembly. They don't go away.

- Herndon, VA, USA

My headlights are getting dimmer and dimmer. I replaced the bulbs twice. But they are still dimming. Now having to use high beams all the time.

- Cleveland, OH, USA

Lens in the headlight housing is burnt off to the point it is unsafe to drive at night. Big safety issue. Very dangerous.

- Summerville, SC, USA

My dim headlights are extremely low. Driving at night is a safety hazard due to the dim headlights. I have not reported this to my dealership after viewing other complaints with the same safety issue and the feedback from dealerships less than helpful. I know that headlights (bulbs) should be replaced from time to time. However, after replacing bulbs the problem still exists. The performance of the headlights, especially at night, is below industry standards. As of now this problem has been reported to NHTSA as a major safety concern. I have not discovered any real information from NHTSA, pro or con, on this issue which is concerning to me. I would hope that due diligence and follow up to consumers from NHTSA, about this complaint, is forthcoming or at the least directives are given as to resolutions to this safety issue. Also, purchasing brighter bulbs don't seem to fix the problem. I have tried that. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated concerning this headlight safety issue on my 2015 Nissan Altima.

When I 1st bought the car I upgraded the headlights to led low beams. This produced a nice light and the lighting increased significantly with a very sharp cutoff line. This was about 18 months ago. Now the low beams barely produce a blob of lighr and there is no cutoff line for the lights visible. My fog lights actually light up the road better than the low beams. This is very dangerous driving at night with very visible light actually hitting the road. I will need to replace these headlights very soon as I do allot of nighttime driving going to and from work in the winter months. If the roads are wet or damp the lighting does not even light up the lane marker lines this makes it very hard to drive esspecially on curvy roads.
