Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT GO OUT. THE FAULT WAS A MELTED CONNECTOR ATTACHED TO THE LAMP. I FIXED IT BY SOLDERING A WIRE IN ITS PLACE. 4 MONTHS MONTHS LATER THE OTHER HEADLIGHT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I SAW A COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND FIGURED I'D GIVE MY TWO CENTS AS WELL. I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE BRAKES ON THE CAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THEY STILL DON'T WORK VERY WELL.*AK
