Consumer Description

DT: THE RUNNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO SHORT OUT. THE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED EIGHT TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THIS DID NOT AFFECT NORMAL USE OF THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE TAIL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, WHO SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE LENS ON THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE FILLING UP WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINED. THE CONTACT DRILLED HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE LENS TO ALLOW WATER TO ESCAPE. SINCE THE CONTACT HAD PERFORMED THE DRILLING THE LIGHTS HAVE NOT SHORTED OUT AS OFTEN. *AK
