TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY BEGAN TO FLICKER AND SHUT OFF. THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE HEADLIGHT BRACKET WAS CORRODED; HOWEVER, THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY, WHEREAS, UPON FURTHER REVIEW, IT APPEARED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT INDEPENDENTLY, WELL BEFORE THEIR TIME. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BURNED OUT AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW THE COMPLAINT. UPDATED 02/10/12
