Consumer Description

YESTERDAY, 12/1/2011, MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT FAILED. OVER A YEAR AGO, I HAD WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB, AND IT CAME ON AFTER JARRING IT, SO I WAITED TO REPLACE THE BULB UNTIL TODAY. THIS MORNING, NEITHER BULB WORKED. THINKING THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, I TURNED AUTOMATIC LIGHTING OFF, THEN BACK ON. THAT FAILED, HOWEVER THE BRIGHTS DID WORK. I PULLED OVER AND RAPPED ON THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT HOUSING A FEW TIMES, AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN I DID THE SAME TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH ALSO CAME ON. VERY UNSAFE TO AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF A DRIVER, ESPECIALLY SINCE I SUSPECT THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, OR LEAVE SOMEBODY STRANDED AT WORK WHEN THEY GO TO LEAVE AND HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS. *TR
