Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH HID HEAD LIGHTS. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT HEAD LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT INDIVIDUALLY (NOT AT THE SAME TIME) DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN BY TURNING LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN THE HEAD LIGHTS WORK. ON A DIFFERENT TRIP, EITHER HEAD LIGHT MAY STOP WORKING AGAIN. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ON EVERY TRIP, AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS (I.E., TURN THE LIGHTS "ON" AND BOTH HEAD LIGHTS WORK, AND THEN AFTER SOME PERIOD OF TIME ONE OF THE HEAD LIGHTS STOPS WORKING). THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE LAST MONTH. *TR
