Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
The low beam headlights are too dim ,and the driver cannot see at night while driving with the low beams on.
The headlights on my 2003 toyota corolla are unsafe on the dim setting. The high beams are great, but I cannot see at night. There has to be some correction to my lights before I run into something and maybe hurt someone or myself. What can I do. The dealership and the complaint dept. Told me they have had many, many complaints about this. Before something terrible happens, please have this corrected.
Consumer stated the daytime running lights could not be disengaged, which posed a safety hazard when utilizing the washington state ferry. Ferry regulations required head lights to be disengaged while riding. Ts the vehicle had no off switch to disengage the daytime running lights. *tt
While vehicle was parked headlights came on and off which was a result of a dead battery. Replaced battery, and battery went dead again, replaced a relay switch. Problem happened again. Something was draining the battery. Dealer contacted. Cannot find cause of problem.
