Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY MAZDA 3 2005 EACH YEAR SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR; EACH SIDE I'VE REPLACED 3 TIMES. I HAVE HAD THEM ALL INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP, SO THAT I KNOW THE REPAIR IS BEING DONE CORRECTLY. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, HOWEVER I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I'M SURPRISED THAT NO RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY DO NOT WANT MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR
