MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10766521 FILED 9/21/2015. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ANGLED TOO LOW AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT A PLASTIC PIECE IS BROKEN AND THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THE HEADLIGHTS NOT PROPERLY ILLUMINATING THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
