“I can hardly see 6-8 meters when driving on dark street, if I travel more than the speed of 35 MPH , I cannot see the divider unitil I come close to it.

The lights fall close and spread wide but they do not focus straight and far. This is happening from the beginning of the car purchased in 2014. Till now it is used only during day times but recently I have started using at night times and feeling more unsecure. …”
