Consumer Description

VW HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. THEY EASILY DISCONNECT FROM THE WIRING HARNESS (PLUGS DO NOT HAVE A SAFETY MEASURE TO KEEP THEM ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER). I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS WENT OUT. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR OTHER CARS COMING I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO NO LIGHTING. *TR
