Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. AFTER TRACKING DOWN THE CULPRIT IT'S THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. IT CAN CAUSE THE HEADLAMPS TO GO OUT ENTIRELY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE REPAIRED IT MYSELF BUT THIS DESIGN FLAW CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER CAN PANIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OUT OF ALL THE AMERICAN CARS I HAVE DRIVEN THIS IS THE BIGGEST LAW OF CONCERN I HAVE FOUND. THE NEED FOR SIGHT AT NIGHT IS IMPORTANT. DO TO COST OR REPLACEMENT PEOPLE MAY NOT FIX WHEN NEEDED PUTTING A LOT OF CARS ON THE ROADS WITH INTERMITTENT LIGHTS. *TR
