Consumer Description
HEADLIGHT HARNESS COMES LOOSE FREQUENTLY, RESULTING IN LOSS OF HEADLIGHT. MUST EITHER HIT THE HEADLIGHT FORCEFULLY OR MANUALLY SECURE HEADLIGHT BY REMOVING WHEEL WELL. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE HAVE REPORTEDLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT. UNCERTAIN WHETHER THIS OCCURS WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING, BUT IMAGINE VIBRATION FROM MOTION WILL KNOCK IT LOOSE AGAIN. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AFTER MANUALLY ADJUSTING THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT VIA THE HARNESS IN ORDER TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE RIGHT LIGHT IS DIMMER THAN THE LEFT, SUGGESTING A GROUND ISSUE.
