Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE KEEP GOING OFF WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHETHER I HIT A SLIGHT OR MAJOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. I PULLED THE PLUG FROM THE BACK OF THE HEADLAMPS AND FOUND THE ACTUAL PLUG AND LEAD WIRES WERE MELTED, MAKING CONTACT. I TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY SEPARATING THE TOUCHING WIRES WHERE THE INSULATION HAD MELTED AND THE HEADLIGHT CONTACTS WERE TOUCHING. LIGHTS STILL GO OUT UNPREDICTABLY. *JB
