Consumer Description

ONE OF MY FRONT HEADLIGHT ALWAYS GOES OUT ONCE I MAKE A TURN BY USING A TURN SIGNAL. IF I SWITCH THE HEADLIGHT OFF AND ON AGAIN, THE HEAD LIGHT WILL COME BACK. I READ SIMILAR POST FROM WEBSITE, AND FOUND SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ME. WE ALL SUSPECT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER.
