Consumer Description

WHEN CHANGING BURNED DAYTIME RUNNING BULB I NOTICED THAT THE SOCKET WAS VERY HOT AND BURNED BROWN. AT THE SAME TIME I NOTICED THAT THE FRAME REFLECTOR HAD LOST ITS REFLECTING SURFACE. I CONTROLLED THE OTHER SIDE AND THE SAME HAD HAPPENED TO THE OTHER SIDE FRAME AND SOCKET AND WAS BURNING HOT. I WAS UPSET IF THERE WAS A DANGER OF FIRE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT BUT MY ADDRESS THERE BELOW, BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOES NOT ACCEPT EUROPEAN ADDRESSES AND CANNOT DELETE THE "ALABAMA". HOWEVER I WANT TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR IS US MADE.
