Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE CONTINUOUSLY GOTTEN THE "DIPPED LIGHT" WARNING ON MY DISPLAY. MY LIGHTS PROCCEDED TO FLICKER AND THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS DRIVING RIGHT NEXT TO A CAR AND HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T COME ON. IT TOOK 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE HEADLIGHTS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT I THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL AS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. *JS
