2015 nissan altima - the low beams provide insufficient lighting during night driving and creates a safety hazard. I bought the vehicle used in 2018. I replaced the bulbs but there were no improvements. Friends and family notice the problem and are afraid to drive at night in this car. Research shows the projector bowls are defective and it is going to cost me nearly $1k to replace both headlight assemblies.

Initially I thought my eyese were going bad, but after researching, there is recurring incidence of of consumers reporting dim headlights. Its to the point that I try not to drive at night, and if I do, I have to use my high beams which poses a hazard to other drivers. Nisssan is aware of the problem, however is charging over $1000 to replace the headlamp assembly because simply replacing the bulb is not the solution.

The headlight component is of very poor quality. It doesn't matter what kind of bulbs are placed in the headlights, the light does not project onto the road enough to see well at night. The headlights don't project far enough out and you are only able to see the road that is barely in front of you, not even to the sides. I have tried upgrading the bulbs multiple times and there is no difference.

I am also having an issue with the low beam headlights being dangerously ineffective for night driving or inclement weather. It seems that their are more than an adequate amount of complaints filed to warrant some action. My daughter and grand children ride in this vehicle and there better not anything happen to them because of this. Nissan nor the federal safety agency have enough money to settle that lawsuit. Lights declined gradually. From online research I see that the issue is the reflectors inside the headlight assemblies. I have also changed to "brighter" bulbs, no help. I've researched aftermarket headlight assemblies and they also seem inferior.

The interior lights don't work I have a push start and I have to use my key to unlock/lock the doors. The beeper doesn't work and the battery has been replaced several times. My car also drives as if it's in neutral and won't pick up speed. I have to turn the car off and start it back up for it to stop but it will do it constantly. I have took it to the dealership numerous of times and they always tell me they can't find an issue. This has been going on for a year now.

Very dim headlights. Can not see in front of you while driving. Have to drive with bright lights on to see at night. The bright lights look like regular headlights when turned on, not very bright to be bright lights. It's a safety concern and very dangerous to drive at night. I changed out the bulbs twice to halogen and LED and neither fixed the problem.

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.
