The driver's side headlight housing(?) casts a shadow into the low beam projection field, obscuring one's nighttime driving view on the driver's side.

Drive side headlight casts shadow making it hard to drive at night. The shadow is only on driver side. Dealer has tried to adjust with no success. It's a design flaw.

The auto high beam headlights will dim for an oncoming car and quite often not go back to bright for quite some time (minutes/miles). When driving dark, two lane roads i have to turn my headlights off of auto setting, thus completely switching them off as i twist the knob forward to on instead of auto. Then i have to flick the high beams on manually. This process takes a few seconds while driving at 55+mph which is…
