Consumer Description

SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. NOTICED JUST LAST NIGHT THAT NEITHER OF MY LOW BEAMS WILL TURN ON. THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD COINCIDENCE THAT NORMALLY YOU NOTICE WHEN ONE LIGHT BURNS OUT BUT BOTH? I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH A LOT OF MAZDA MAKES AND MODELS AND THE FIX IS NEITHER CHEAP NOR TIME FRIENDLY. I WILL CALL A MAZDA DEALER TOMORROW TO FIND OUT THEIR RECOMMENDATION BUT I AM SURE ITS GOING TO COST ME A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX OR EVEN LOOK AT. TURNS OUT THE FIX IS SMACKING THE TOP OF THE HEADLIGHT TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX..
