Low beam headlights work appropriately for 5 or so minutes before "drooping" or "sagging" so that they only illuminate one car length or so in front of the vehicle. Upon shutting off and restarting the vehicle, the lights return to correct illumination. However, they somehow droop again and within 5-10 minutes, it is not safe to drive the vehicle on low-beam headlights. It is the equivalent of having only fog lights on.

This makes it very dangerous to drive at night as not enough of the road is illuminated ahead of the vehicle. The headlight throw pattern is not always uniform and there may appear to be s…

Low beam headlights have very poor throw which degrades while driving. After driving the vehicle for 30 minutes, both left and right headlights point downward and do not throw light down the road. Cutoff is steep, with light only going about one car length. The fault is variable and somewhat random, with sometimes just one headlight drooping. The car must be driven for this to happen - does not occur when sitting flat or idle. The amount of droop varies also (confirmed by placing various pieces of tape on garage wall, and checking headligh…
