Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO USE MY HI BEAMS. PEOPLE WERE FLASHING THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS AND I WAS BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. THE NEXT DAY THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON, THEN SWITCHED OFF 5 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING. FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS THEY HAVE RARELY EVEN CAME ON, AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY WILL TURN OFF QUICKLY. I DRIVE MY CORVETTE EVERY DAY, AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. A POLICE OFFICER STOPPED ME AND GAVE ME A VERBAL WARNING LAST NIGHT WHEN MY LIGHTS SWITCHED OFF AND I HAD TO TURN MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
