The sealed-beam headlights supplied by the pontiac firebird trans am model does not light the roadway sufficiently. This has endangered myself and others in my car several times and requires eye strain at highway speeds. No recall or technical service bulletin has been issued to address this problem, nor has gmc returned letters or e-mail sent in concerns to this problem. Using the high-beams on the highway (when clear enough to do so), barely supplies lighting expected by the low-beams. Low-beams are virtually useless to the driver and serve only to show approaching cars I am on the road.
