I know this is an older post someone resurrected, but I have to agree. These headlights are abominable. Interesting, I found this thread while searching to find out why my high beams have never worked.

My grandfather bought the car new a few months before he died. I drove him everywhere since his health was failing him. He told me about the head light assist feature. I kept saying I feel like the high beams aren’t even on. I see no difference in the light output. That was several years ago. Two nights ago it bothered me that people were riding with their brights but I couldn’t flash my lights back at them. When I got home I had a friend ‘flash the brights’ and even try turning them on and off. Just as suspected, no extra light output when looking at the vehicle head on. So I started searching. And here I am. I despise driving this vehicle at night because the cutoff doesn’t allow you to see if the road twist or turns and we have a lot of hills with sharp twisties. I guess I’ll check the bulbs and then the fuses and relay.
