Consumer Description

THE BULBS IN MY HEADLAMPS CONSTANTLY NEED REPLACING. I HAVE REPLACED THEM ON AVERAGE TWICE A YEAR SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHICH HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY THE LAST TWO YEARS TO 5 MONTH INTERVALS. I HAVE A STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH MY ELECTRICIAN/MECHANIC, WHO ALMOST KNOWS ME ON A FIRST NAME BASIS. HE NEVER FINDS ANYTHING WRONG, IN TERMS OF A SHORT IN THE WIRES.....JUST CONTINUES TO CHANGE THE BULBS AND POCKET MY MONEY. THIS LAST TIME BOTH BULBS BLEW OUT WITHIN A WEEK OF ONE ANOTHER. THERE WAS ONE INSTANCE WHEN I WAS UNAWARE THAT A BULB HAD BLOWN AND INCURRED A "FIX IT" TICKET. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AS I SUSPECT THERE IS EITHER A SHORT OR OUTRIGHT FLAW IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
