Problems with 2013 Nissan Altima EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I bought my 2013 nissan altima 2.5 brand new in 2012. over the past 7 years, my low beam headlights have gotten progressively dimmer, to the point that i cannot tell my lights are even on. i can no longer drive my car at night because i cannot see 5 feet in front of the car. if it rains, i am in bad shape because you can't see anything in front of you. when i took my car to the dealership for 90,000 mile service, the service advisor told me that replacing the headlight bulbs will not change or fix the issue. he stated that i needed whole new headlight assemblies, which would cost me approximately $1,000. i have an extended warranty for the car, but feel as this is a wide spread and known issue with the 2013-2015 altima, that i should not have to pay out of pocket for the repair for my safety and safety of other drivers around me on the road.

Low beam head lights have extremely low output. difficult to drive at night.

The headlights are getting dimmer over time to the point you are unable to see at night to safely operate the vehicle. the reflective material inside the headlight assembly appears to be deteriorating and replacing the bulb does not help.

This vehicles headlamps are so dim to the point of extreme safety hazard and can cause an accident and injury as a result. this appears to be a known defect and nissan is not standing behind the safety of their owners. the fix is not a bulb, but replacing both headlamp assemblies at a hefty price tag to the owner

Low-beam headlights have dimmed over time. i purchased car brand new and cannot see without fog lights being on. replaced bulbs but problem is with the reflective coating inside the headlamp assembly. many other people having the same problem with their vehicles also.

Headlights are too dim--where i can only see 4 ft in front of my car at nite. it's a very dangerous safety issue.

The head lights on my car when on dim are dangerous. i can't see more than 20-30 feet ahead. i've changed the bulbs with no help or improvement. i've installed new halogen bulbs and contacted the dealership regarding this issue. they tell me my lights are working properly, but they haven't driven m car at night. this seems to be a widespread issue with this model.i can't safely operate my car at night and especially in the rain. i can't see the curb thus i can't see pedestrians until it's almost too late. nissan needs to fix this problem because it's with every altima.

Difficult seeing in the night very bad visibility lights are not bright enough , i changed the lights but there was no improvement, i have to use my high beam lights

In recent weeks the car's headlights have been extremely weak especially when using low beams. in a dark area i can barely see the road even a few feet in front of the car. when i checked the lights, both are working, just not working well enough to function. it's becoming very dangerous to drive at night.

Low beam headlights are very dim. when i first bought the car they were so bright that i was getting brights flashed at me with people thinking i had my high beams on. now they barley are bright. it is very hard to see at night unless i have my high beams on. i thought it was the head lamp itself but i have replaced them. i have also had to replace my low beams 4 times since i've owned the car for them burning out. once at the time. after reading so many complaints about it, why isn't nissan taking care of this issue? i love my car but hate the headlights. this has been an on going issue for the last 3 years.

I recently replaced my low beams, again, and it didn't make a difference. my fog lights are brighter than my low beams. when i replaced my bulbs initially in november 2018 it wasn't until my fog lights went out that i noticed my headlights were dim. i replaced them with the brightest halogen bulb. in october they appeared to be out but were so dim the only way they were visible was standing within feet of the car. i replaced them with led bulbs and it didn't make a significant improvement. after doing some research i discovered this is a common issue with this vehicle. like many others i will have my headlight assemblies replaced due to this safety issue. while oncoming vehicles can see me this failing safety feature could jeopardize my ability to see something in the road. i currently limit my driving at night but emergencies happen and nissan should be replacing all of these assemblies. headlights are so crucial to ensure the safety of all on the road.

The headlights are not "strong" enough to actually light the road or anything in front of the car. verified not bulb issue. these headlights are not safe to drive at night as there really isnt any visibility. ive been dealing with this and fighting this issue for years but just realized i was able to make this complaint since nissan wont address issue. *tr

I purchased my altima from a dealership as a certified used vehicle. the first time i drove at night i noticed that the headlights were dangerously dim. the headlights were so dim, that (while the car was stationary) i turned the headlights on and off, and there was no difference in visibility. i returned to the dealership within a week, where they charged me to install upgraded bulbs. this did not fix the problem- even with upgraded, brighter bulbs there in no projection of light onto the roadway. the lights are visible from the outside (if you are looking at the car, you can see that the lights are on), but from the outside looking at the car you can see that they appear very dim. the bright setting on the vehicle appears to be unaffected. the vehicle is not safe to operate in the dark without the bright setting being utilized and presents a hazard to both occupants of the vehicle and people and property outside of the vehicle. the dealership is going to try changing out the bulbs again, but if that doesn't work they are telling me that there is nothing that can be done- ...

Head light low beams are extremely dim. even, i cannot see 2 meters in front of the car at nights. and this problem is not related with the light bulbs. it is related with the headlight projector housing (confirmed from different auto shops and internet complaints) that is losing its effectiveness by the time. also, repairing this problem is very costly. basically, both headlight assemblies have to be changed. we, as altima owners, are waiting for the recall action specifically for this problem from the nissan company. unfortunately, it is very common safety problem among 2013 -2015 altimas.

Low beam headlights have been getting dimmer over the past few years to the point i need to ride with my high beams on. my passengers ask me if i have my headlights on. i would expect to see a recall since this is a safety issue.
