Consumer Description

WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ALMOST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS DUE TO WIRING 'BURNING' AND CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE ACTUAL LIGHT BULBS THEMSELVES ARE FINE. IT IS THE CONNECTION TO THE BULB THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS FIRST NOTICED WHEN STARTING THE CAR WHILE EVEN HAVING HEADLAMPS SET TO AUTOMATIC, THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING, ONE LIGHTS UP WHILE THE OTHER REMAINS OUT. HIGH BEAMS, FOG LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS ARE FINE.
