I have a '16 Rogue SL with almost 1000 miles. I have noticed that the low beam headlights are dim. Has anyone experienced that?

Thanks!

I assume you bought it new. How long ago did you buy it? What did the dealer say when you asked them about it?

I just got my 2016 Rogue SL AWD 3/5/2016. I puled the factory bulbs , low beam and replaced with Sylvania Silver Star Ultra. I also had to raise my fog lights as they were aimed really low. What a difference this makes !
Much better

I also find that my fog lights are aimed really low. How did you adjust their aim?

There is a 3/4 to a 1 " hole right under the fog light. Take a phillips bit on an extension, mine is 13 " long. and you should be able to set the bit into the bottom of the fog light. I then backed into my garage , and aimed the fog lights about 6 " under my low beams. then turn to raise the aim

Thanks for the info. Did you just pop off the bottom plastic fascia (I think I heard it was just a few plastic fasteners) and then reach in with the philips to adjust the aim?

Hi MJS1444, About how many turns did you give them ?

Thanks again for your information.

There is a access hole directly under the adjustment screw, no need to remove anything.
