Consumer Description
IT STARTED OFF WITH MY LOW BEAM HID LIGHTS ON MY PASSENGER SIDE...IT WOULD BURN VERY DIM AND SOMETIMES GO OUT COMPLETELY. I WOULD TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WORKED SOMEWHAT, IT WOULD BURN BUT IT WAS DIM. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING SO I USED MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE. ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AFTER THAT (LATE AUGUST/EARLY SEPTEMBER 2011) MY HIGH BEAM ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR BEFORE IT STOPPED WORKING. SO THAT LEFT ME WITH A LOW-BEAM ON THE DRIVERSIDE AND A HIGH-BEAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE HIGH-BEAM WENT OUT ON THE DRIVERSIDE THE HIGH-BEAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT LEAVING ME WITH ONLY A LOW-BEAM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FOG LIGHTS. AND EVERYTIME A LIGHT WENT OUT I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED MY LIGHTS GOT DIM. *TR
