Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The new bright blue headlights are an outstanding inovation when they are properly aimed, however the aim of the headlight is affected by vehicle loading and manufacture and bodyshop/dealer misalligmnment. This allignment is critical. When too much weight is place in the rear of the vehicle, the portion of the headlight that is supposed to be pointing down on the roadway is now directed at oncomming traffic. If manufacturers cannot control this problem by automatically adjusting the horizontal tilt of this lighting system, they should be banned!”
