Consumer Description

IN MY CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COME ON BUT VERY DIM OR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. IF I HIT A BUMP THE HEADLIGHTS WILL ALSO GO OUT. MOVING WIRE CONNECTION ON BACK OF HEADLIGHTS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM MOMENTARILY. PROBLEM OCCURS MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE OTHER EVENING I WAS DRIVING AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE WIRING HARNESS. THE WHOLE HARNESS WAS MELTED OFF. *NM
