Consumer Description

THE MAIN FRONT LIGHT IS OFF, IT IS NOT DEAD BUT IT IS OFF. IF YOU HIT A BUMP, IT CUTS OFF. I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS UP SO I WENT ON YOUTUBE. APPRENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY REPLACING BULBS ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ISNT A PROBLEM WITH THE BULB ITSELF BUT THE VEHICLE IT SELF. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. NEXT QUESTION ASKS WHEN IT HAPPENED, ITS A CONSTANT THING. YOU ADJUST THE LIGHT SO THAT IT TURNS ON AND THEN NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU ARE DRIVING AND YOU HIT A BUMP AND THE LIGHT CUTS OFF. REALLY ANNOYING AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN LOCATIONS WITH NO LIGHTING.
