“The headlights on my Camaro 2ss with hid headlights have gotten so dim that I am afraid to drive the car at night because the car doesn't light up the road at all. I only use it during the day. If I need to go somewhere at night I have to use my other vehicle. I went to the local Chevrolet dealer and was told it was $125.00 to see what is going on. I've read all over the internet that everyone that has these cars are having the same problem. I think there needs to be a recall on these lights so we can be safe without having to spend $1500.00 to replace both headlights.”
