2012-01-15, Exterior Lighting
THE VOLVO VN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS HAVE A LOW BEAM LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE. THESE LIGHTS ARE MUCH TOO DIM AND WHEN THE DEALERSHIPS ARE CONFRONTED WITH THIS, THEY ONLY WANT TO SELL AN ENTIRE NEW LIGHTING UNIT. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE COMPANY SEEMS TO BE USING THIS AS A "CASH COW".
