Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON INTERSTATE, ONE HEADLIGHT DIMMED AND THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY. REPAIRSHOP WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR BECAUSE HEADLIGHT SOCKET WAS MELTED. REFERRED ME TO MITSUBISHI DEALER. BEFORE REPAIR COMPLETED, THE SECOND HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON INTERSTATE ON SUBSEQUENT EVENING. FOG LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT OPERATIONAL. ONLY PARKING LIGHTS OPERATIONAL. IT APPEARS FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC LIGHTING SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. *TR
