Over time, the low beam lights have faded which make it very difficult to see at night.

Headlights are not safe. Foward visibility is very poor. This vehicle should not be driven at night especially in poor weather conditions.

Road visibility is poor with low beam lighting on normal weather condition during nighttime. It increases danger when it rains and/or foggy weather during nighttime.visited dealership and brought up issues, but mbenz can't fix it since it passes its standard. NHTSA, please do more research on this issue proactively for safety. I believe its a serious problem. This big luxury truck mostly use by families. Keep them safe!

My 2017 Mercedes Benz gls 450 has standard halogen lighting from the factory. It has very poor visibility in rainy, fog conditions. Also very poor visibility in urban areas where there is partial street lighting. The low bean headlights are too dim to see infront of vehicle. This is very big SUV and feel it is safety hazard to drive with the standard lighting.

The standard headlights are extremely dim and unsuitable for nighttime driving. They have a brightness roughly equivalent to parking lights. This is a problem known to Mercedes according to many online boards. My vehicle is unsafe for night driving and needs to be retrofitted with some usable headlights. Visibility is only about 10 feet in front of the car which is unacceptable for highway driving.
