    The headlights are too dim. The safety of my family is my main concern with this complaint. We live in an area where there are many animals that can and are out on the road. I have to be able to see better during the night time hours. The normal headlights feel as if they daylights are on. The high beams are even too dim. I feel like the high beams are the brightness that the normal lights should be.

    Headlights don't shine on the road very well. There no adjustment screws to correct.

    I just purchased a new 2018 ford edge. The low beam headlights are so dim with night driving, they are unsafe. Shows barely enough light ( no brighter than a street light). You can barely follow the center line. After 100 years in business, you would think this is something that i would not have to worry about when purchasing a new vehicle. I think the low beam lighting should be replaced what a brighter led…

    The head lights are always on a dim mode. I have called the dealer and they have said that's as bright as the light get.

I have asked my deal what it would cost to have brighter bulbs put in. They told me that ford doesn't have brighter bulbs. I…

    The low beam halogen headlamps are inadequate. Can't see a thing at night, if it's raining you may as well park the vehicle. The lights may be bright to look at the car, but they do nothing to light up the roadway. If you drive under a street lamp, the headlamp is no longer visible on the road. This is the first car i've owned that the head light does not illuminate the road more than a street light. I see they get…

    The low beam headlights are so weak that when the road is wet at night or when driving near ambient lighting such as street lights you can't see any markings on the road such as the centerline of the road. There is also exhaust fumes coming into the car when driving with the windows up or slightly rolled down and when the climate control system is in recirculating mode. These fumes make me dizzy and cause me to have…
