Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM ON BY MANUALLY USING THE HIGH BEAMS, BUT IF I LET GO OF THE HIGH BEAM SHIFT, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN 20 MILES. IT DID IT AGAIN YESTERDAY ON SEPTEMBER 28, DRIVING HOME AND I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE WHICH IS A PROBLEM AS IT IS GETTING DARK EARLIER. I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE HEADLIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. I COULD PULL THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH IS AN ISSUE AS I LIVE IN A SMALL CITY BUT AS SOON AS I LET GO OF THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH -- NO LIGHTS. ALSO THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD GO TO LOW AND BACK TO HIGH INTERMITTENTLY. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR.
