Consumer Description

WITHIN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS 3-4 TIMES. MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT IS NOW OUT AFTER REPLACING IT LESS THAN 1YEAR AGO. I DO NOT KEEP MY LIGHTS ON AUTOMATIC AS THAT IS WHAT SUBARU TOLD ME AS TO WHY I KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS. IT IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE AND COSTLY, BUT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACCESS THE HEADLIGHT ON MY OWN TO CHANGE THE BULB WITHOUT PAYING FOR LABOR.
