The low beam headlights are to dim for night driving. I don't feel safe driving at night, it's difficult to see the road.

The low beam light visibility has progressively deteriorated to the point where passengers have commented that I'd forgotten to turn on my headlights. There is moisture in the light housing. We've tried to replace the bulbs with led bulbs but visibility didn't improve. We've observed moisture accumulating over several years but were not aware it would effect visibility. I'm entering an exact date only because it's required to progress but I do not have an exact date.

Lights dim almost cause me to crash. Now one not working seems like a lot of issues with this vehicle. Is it to get the nearly $500 repair cost" fix the problem thousands complaining, it's an obvious flaw. Not fair. This is very dangerous will this only be fixed after a tragedy"

The headlight on this car will not work properly. Have had bulbs replaced twice. Dealership state seals are bad and need replaced. Charging over $2000 for this. There is water inside both headlights. The bright lights will work, but not the regular lights. What recourse do we have?

When driving at night with lights on dim you can barely see anything. In order to be able to see anything lights must be on bright, if meeting another driver this makes for a possible hostile interaction as the approaching driver is blinded by the brightness of lights. I took my car to shop only to be informed it is a defect with this model vehicle starting with 2010 models. I was told the price starts at around $1000 for a replacement clip with the probability that lights will do same thing😯. lights are not blown but instead it is a defect of manufacturer. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Night driving is a must for some of us and the feeling of not being able to see very well with lights on dim or making other drivers mad and possibly resulting in an act of road rage makes us feel very unsafe. I have been a Cadillac driver all my life and feel this should be addressed as soon as possible. We should not be held responsible for trying to fix something that in all honesty is not our fault and will only result in spending money that is only going toward a temporary fix still. Please make this right.

Both headlights have moisture and right headlight failed while driving. GM is well aware of this defect. The light failing while driving is a safety issue. GM will replace light for $1400 dollars, but the replacement has the same defect. They need to be recalled and fixed.
