I’ve looked & looked and, apart from a post saying the lights are appalling, I can’t find any discussion on what I think is a problem on my, new to me, Qashqai. Recently, since the nights are drawing in, I had occasion to be out in the dark. The dipped beams are awesome but the main beam is dreadful. In fact, it’s so bad I got out of the car to make sure it was on! You just can’t see anything and it looks like it’s just not actually on which, given it’s just gone through an MOT, I find unlikely. I had to drive slowly on dark twisty roads as I just couldn’t see beyond the dipped. (PS, the front fogs are nearly as bad!)
Sorry if this is a repeat question but is there anything to be done by way of a screwdriver?

so if normal beam is nice and bright and full beam is not, i would just drive with normal beam if thats brighter. i`m out in the country and it`s very rare that i use full beam. fog lights can be upgraded to led bulbs (they are only usefull in foggy conditions and not night time normal conditions)

led fog video here for you..
