The headlights on my 2015 gmc sierra slt are by far the worst headlights i have ever experienced in the many vehicles that i have driven over the last 30 years. How they passed whatever safety standards there are set in place is beyond me. They do not provide a wide enough beam to see around turns or wildlife that may be on the side of the roadway nor do they light up enough of the road in distance to see anything…

However, the headlights have extremely poor illumination (cannot see off to the side of the road, very dim, poor projection in front) in low or high beam. The headlights are the worst on any vehicle that i have owned over the past 35 years. I almost hit a…
