Consumer Description

HEAD LIGHTS WHEN TURNED ON DID NOT LIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH TURNED TO ON POSITION. SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW BEAM DID NOT TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS. HOLDING THE TURN SIGNAL/ DIMMER LEVEL IN THE "FLASH" POSITION" KEPT THE HIGH BEAMS ON. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON CAUSED LIGHTS TO WORK PROPERLY SOMETIMES, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE STREET CAUSED THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF ONE TIME. AFTER THE BUMP TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF AND ALSO THE LIGHT SWITCH DID NOT CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE INCIDENTS THE HEAD LIGHTS FUNCTIONED PROPERLY ON THREE MORE DAYLIGHT TRIPS. THE CAR IS NOT BEING DRIVEN WHEN HEAD LIGHTS MIGHT BE REQUIRED. *TR
