Consumer Description

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION, OR KNOCK THAT CAN BE CAUSED BY EITHER A POTHOLE, BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR SPEED BUMP. I DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS, IS A SUPER COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL MAZDA 6 (SECOND GENERATION) OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE TO BANG THEIR FISTS ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TURN THEM ON. I TRIED THIS METHOD AS WELL, AND IT WORKED FOR ME DESPITE BEING DANGEROUS.
