Consumer Description

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE RIGHT EXTERIOR HOUSING MATERIAL OF THE HEADLIGHT WAS FILLED WITH RAIN WATER AND DEBRIS. THE MOISTURE CAUSED THE HALOGEN BULB TO BLOW OUT WHICH EXPOSED THE ELECTRODES AND SHORTED OUT THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW THE RAIN WATER FILLED THE HOUSING. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE CRACKS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, INCLUDING NEW HOUSING MATERIAL. *AK
