THE FACTORY HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE BEAM PATTERN IS VERY POOR, AND ILLUMINATION OF SIGNAGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE CAR IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE FACTORY BULBS WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE PARTS TO NO AVAIL. INCREASING THE INTENSITY OF A BAD BEAM PATTERN DOESN'T IMPROVE THE BEAM PATTERN. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE HEADLAMPS ON THE CURRENT GENERATION CHARGER. OVERALL, NHTSA SHOULD ADOPT THE ECE BEAM PATTERN. FINALLY, DRLS SHOULD BE BANNED. WITH NO BENEFIT, ALL THEY DO IS RAISE THE COST OF A VEHICLE AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE DAYTIME GLARE.
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2019 DODGE CHARGER SXT ARE TERRIBLE. AT NIGHT WHILE THEY ARE ON DIM THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT AND THE IIHS RATING IS POOR. I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ADJUSTED THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT AND I HAD 1000% BETTER LIGHTS ON MY CIVIC I TRADED IN. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS POOR RATING. IT THIS REASON I'M AM IN TALKS ABOUT TRYING TO RETURN THE CAR IF THIS CANNOT BE FIXED.
