We have classified the 2 complaints from 2018 Toyota Camry about EXTERIOR LIGHTING into the following categories.
Headlights on low beam have been designed with light/dark zones when focused for the factory specifications. there is little diffusion of light into the upper{dark} zone and objects above three feet or so are not illuminated at 100 feet. i recently passed a pedestrian walking on the road shoulder, and the person was only visible from the waist down. stop signs are not illuminated, but the poles are. i had the dealer check the lights and was told they were set to the design spec. i contacted toyota inc. and went through three layers of people to be told that it is as designed and could not be changed. this is a severe safety hazard.
Rental car, headlights focused too low. almost went through two stop signs in ca as the headlights never shined on the signs. in motion on a 30mph street with many stop signs.
