Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CAR THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT WENT OUT. THE BRIGHTS STILL WORK BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT DOESN'T UNLESS IT IS ON BRIGHTS, I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST NORMAL MAYBE THE LIGHT WORK OUT BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CONNECTION AND I HAVE SEEN SO MANY WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHT OUT THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A TICKET OR A WRECK. *NM
