Poor illumination from headlights. Visibility at night with either high or low beams is unacceptable. Not easy to avoid obstacles like deer crossing the highway, debris or other hazards.

I have a wonderful 2018 ford expedition. I love everything about the car, and expected i would, because i did research before leasing it. The one thing i didn't do, which i've never had to do in all my years of car buying or leasing, is test drive the car at nighttime. The standard halogen headlamps are awful, and dangerous. I cannot see anything. My girlfriend also can't see anything while driving the car. I have…

I brought my vehicle to the dealer and they adjusted the lights as high as possible, which did not address this issue. Ford offers an optional led headlamp system which appears significantly brighter and safer, but at the time of purchase they didn't have these on the…

The low beam headlights shine very low and not far enough ahead of the vehicle. They are also very dim.

The headlights on this vehicle are absolutely the worst of any car i've ever driven. Did night driving yesterday; the peripheral lighting was virtually non-existent, and i couldn't even see my driveway from the road. There is no mention on the window sticker about what type of light fixtures the car has. I feel extremely unsafe when driving this vehicle at night, and will limit this exposure when i can. Totally…
