The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated the headlights failed to properly illuminate the roadway while driving.

Why would they allow these poor headlights to be on the road at night? Are they waiting for someone to get killed in a horrible accicent?

Lights became so dim it was impossible to see at night. I replaced the bulbs multiple times with no remedy. I also had the outer shell cleaned which still did not help. I had to finally have the whole assembly replaced.
