Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. AFTER FURTHER INCIDENTS I DISCOVERED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE CAR IS COLD THEN AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE LO-BEAMS GO OUT. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHT FUNCTION STILL WORKS PROPERLY. THE DASH INDICATOR ON DASH INDICATES LIGHTS ARE ON EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT. IT APPEARS TO BE A THERMAL PROBLEM. YOU CAN DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORK PROPERLY. PARK THE CAR AND DRIVE IT A SHORT TIME LATER AND THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. I'VE DISCOVERED OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2005 CORVETTE AND THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. *TR
