Consumer Description

I STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURNING ON IN MY 2005 C6 CORVETTE. THE SWITCH WAS TURNED TO AUTOMATIC AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED TO MANUAL MODE THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WOULD STILL NOT TURN ON. THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LAMPS WORK WITH REGULAR SUCCESS. WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND THE CAR IS COOL THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND STAY ON FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT AS SOON AS THE CAR IS BROUGHT UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAIL TO WORK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR 2005-2007 C6 CORVETTES AND THE NHTSA ALONG WITH CHEVROLET SHOULD FILE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. IT'S A EASY FIX WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR
