This will sound really dumb. We've had the 2016 Prism for almost 3 years and had never driven it at night. I was moving it from storage in the RV park to our site after dark and thought that the headlights were horrible.
I leave my switch set to auto, which turns on the DRLs only apparently. Got to our site, checked it out and saw I was driving with the DRLs only and not the headlights. While I have had much better headlights, once I got them turned on they weren't too bad.
