Consumer Description

BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEADLAMP ON MY WIFE'S 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE STOPPED WORKING (BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS) AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. UPON INVESTIGATING, WE FOUND THAT ALL FUSES WERE OK, BUT THE HEADLAMP WIRING HARNESSES HAD MELTED. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN CASE NUMBERS 10145878, 10111932, AND 10100237. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURED IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHT-TIME DRIVE, IT COULD CREATE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *NM
