The headlights on my new gmc sierra 2500hd denali are horrible and unsafe for driving at night. The 25 watt rating and 2,000 lumens on the oem hid bulbs do not provide adequate, safe lighting for operating my vehicle. I already hit a deer with my brand new truck because I couldn't see it well enough in advance of the collision. Gmc should be held accountable for putting such a low power, poor quality and unsafe headlight in their $70,000 vehicles. I'm renting a hyundai while my truck is being repaired and the headlights on this $30,000 foreign car are 10xs better than the ones on my truck. Why?

The projector headlights are inadequate on a level road, and are dangerous on rolling terrain roads and curves. They could be possibly designed for stationary use in a perfect enviorment but not for moving vehicles, I cannot safely drive this vehicle at night, I fear not only for myself but for other people on and near the path of this vehicle. My mind is clear, there are many blowing the whistle.

The vehicle lights are very dim even with the high beams on. While driving at night can barely see in front of me. These are a hazard to me and others, since not being able to see a good distance in front of the vehicle makes hard to see pedestrians, animals or debris in the road at night.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc sierra. The contact stated that the low beam headlight was defective and did not provide adequate light coverage. The contact had to engage the high beams. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer raised the low beams; however; the light coverage was not corrected. The failure mileage was 300. ..updated 05/09/16 *bf the consumer stated right after he purchased the vehicle, he noticed when driving at night, with the low beams on, his visibility was approximately 30 feet to the front and side of the vehicle. When the high beams were on, he was able to see ahead of him, but the view was still limited to only 30 feet. Updated 05/16/16.

Headlights are far to dim and directional to drive safely at night. Had the light fix done at dealer. Now horizontal black line going down hill mean you can only see a very short distance in front of you? Headlights still inadequate .

The headlights are very dim and make it hard to see at night. I have had several situations where an accident was more likely due to the dim lighting.

Headlight performance is very poor with weak yellow beam both on low and high beams. Difficulty seeing during night driving, especially at highway speeds in dark areas, is very hazardous, even worse during rain. I am concerned about my safety and that of my family while driving this truck at night. The projector-style headlamps on the vehicle were dim with a yellow color and provided inadequate front and side illumination. The headlight aim was raised, which resulted in little improvement.

Projector headlights on 2015 sierra is very dim compared to other vehicles. Tried adjusting but did not help. Very poor visibility in unlit dark roads and streets and poses risk. I tried bringing it to the dealer but they could not do anything about it. I mentioned several complaints from other owners including a class action law suite that was filed in california in october 2015. Unfortunately, there are no other alternatives with the exception of purchasing aftermarket headlights. I would like gmc to fix this known problem. Apparently they did as they changed the 2016 models' headlamps and incorporated higher lumens on lighting, why change it if it was not a problem in the first place? It's very difficult to see pedestrians and objects at night.

I purchased this vehicle new august 2015. The headlight projection and illumination on this vehicle is extremely poor especially during wet roads or raining conditions. I have to use the fog lights at all times and still do not have adequate lighting. I feel this situation can and will result in serious injury or death due to lack of proper lighting. I was appalled to find out general motors only use a single halogen bulb instead of a dual filament lamp or a combination low and high beam lamps. I personally nearly hit a pedestrian during a rainy situation, and also feel unsafe operating this vehicle at dark.
