Consumer Description

DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT (STILL THE ORIGINAL BULB) THE BOTTOM OF THE BULB WAS BURNT BAD AND THE PLASTIC WIRING SOCKET WAS STARTING TO MELT AROUND THE BULB BASE. I CHANGED THE BULB AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I THOUGHT I BETTER CHECK THE HEADLIGHTS. CHANGED THOSE BULBS BUT THE WIRES LOOK LIKE THEY ARE BLISTERING FROM OVER HEATING. NEVER DID BLOW A FUSE. SEEMS TO ME LIKE WIRES ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE AMPS THE LIGHTS DRAW, ESPECIALLY THE DAYTIME LIGHTS. NO FIRE YET BUT SEEMS LIKE THIS COULD POSSIBLY SET THINGS UP FOR A FIRE. *NM
