Low beam lights are brutal. Head lights are clear, just really dim. Dialed interior lighting to minimum to lessen the impact of the CUE and dash but is still very poor. I am looking at install is the required hardware for driving lights, and the current grill will have to be replaced for ones that do have lights and then find after market lights. I'm searching but unfortunately have only found fog lights and they do not rate for output, or lumens. I want driving, not fog, to get more light down the road, and would like to utilize and update the grills so that they look OEM. Will update if I find lights that I want.

I contacted Cadillac about the problem, and they advised me to go to a dealer to test them, so I went to Myrtle Beach Cadillac and they determined they are defective. I called Cadillac back with that info and they advised that since it is a 2013 that it is out of warranty - of course it is. But now I am stuck with a nice 2013 Cadillac with 53050 miles and the headlights require complete replacement. I was told by a service advisor that the low beam lens gets so hot that they distort and become ineffective. So I will have to pay for a bad design that their engineers designed. Cadillac sucks.

I can barely see anything at night with low beams on. If it's raining, almost impossible.

In busy traffic, I'm afraid other cars won't see me. So I drive with high beams a lot. I'd rather see where I am going then worry about other people being annoyed by my lights.

I took my car to Dan Vaden Chevrolet/Cadillac in Savannah, Ga, and they said there were no other bulbs to put in, but for $1200 they could replace the whole assembly. I don't have a warranty on the car. But from what I read, they know this is a problem and they should do whatever it takes to make people safe on the road, instead of waiting for people to die, and lawsuits filed, to do anything.

This is actually the second SRX I have had - the first one did the same thing.

My wife and i traded for this used 2013 cadillac SRX Oct. 31,2019 and was enjoying it till we had to use the headlights.The headlights are about useless on dim,we can't drive at night because it's too dangerous.I began to look at ways to improve the headlights,thinking a bulb change would probably cure it.I purchased new low and high beam bulbs and studied a few you tube videos and was totally amazed at how complicated it is just to change bulbs.I could either take to a dealer and probably cost three to four hundred dollars or take the entire front grill,bumper etc to get to where the headlight assemblies could be changed out.That would cost me about $1,000 dollars for parts and me doing the work,if i able to.This is not right that Cadillac realizes they have a problem and won't correct it.This is my 2nd Cadillac and it will surely be the last.

We bought our used 2013 SRX in May 2015 in Del Ray Beach, Florida. We travel full time. Our low beam headlamps have been dim since at least August 2015. As soon as we bought it, we went on a 700 mile journey, ending up in Fredericksburg, Virginia. That was when we finally drove it at night and noticed the problem. We took it in for routine service three months later and complained about them. We were under bumper to bumper warranty for 50,000 miles. We were told that's just the way they are. We took it in to other dealerships as we traveled and were told the same thing. After 9 different times over 2 1/2 years, we finally insisted they be checked, after our warranty had recently expired. Then they confirmed there was an INTERNAL FAULT with the lamps and they need to be replaced, at a cost of $1,100. We contacted GM with our complaint. The best they will do is install them for free, but we have to pay over $800 for new lamps. We have since learned there is a class action suit starting because this is a HUGE problem for many. We literally cannot see at night or before daylight without using our high beams. We now will replace them ourselves with after market parts but that's not a guarantee that will fix the problem. What makes us angry is that we were literally blown off with our complaint 9 times at various dealerships before a dealership said they HAS JUST diagnosed this problem with another customer after she INSISTED the Service Advisor drive it home one night. It is a safety hazard and a defect. We assure you, Cadillac is aware of it. There are a lot of us driving unsafely. We try to avoid driving at night or dusk but that's not always possible. We will let you know once we buy the after market lights (not buying the Cadillac brand) and install them if it helps. After searching the internet, we discovered that still may not fix the problem.

Update from Jan 11, 2018: We ended up having them replaced at our cost at a local bodyshop. We won't return to a Cadillac Dealership for service as we feel they never treated us fairly over this issue. It was a matter of safety.
