This is a brand new car with 35 miles on it. It was purchased in the daytime. This part is important because the first time I drove it at night the headlights barely illuminate the road. I mean a 65 VW BUG with a 6 volt system had better headlights. The dealer knew this about the cars and refuses to do anything about it
