I recently switched from an Audi A6, which uses hid bulbs to a 2015 Nissan Altima 2.5 L. this model uses halogen bulbs, as I have discovered. I was driving at night during the first week of owning the Nissan and had poor visibility of the road. I was driving slowly toward a stoplight and could not see the small strip of median to my left as I was coming to the stoplight. I hit it, and the sidewall in the passenger-side tire blew out. I later looked up the vehicle safety report on this model and I see that it received a "poor" under the "headlights" section of the iihs website. See: www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/V/Nissan/Altima-4-door-sedan/2015 I feel very unsafe in this car. I have not had any such collision with a median or otherwise in over ten years. I just can't see at night with this new car.
Low beam headlights dangerously low light levels while driving during night time conditions. High beams are almost always used to drive at night, as the cars low beams are unfit to drive. Contacted manufacturer, supposedly did an investigation with the dealer. They didn't even contact the correct dealer about the headlight issue.
