Consumer Description
MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNING OFF RANDOMLY EITHER SEPARATELY OR TOGETHER. AS TIME GOES ON THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT OF WHERE THEY WON'T STAY ON FOR MORE THAN 2 TO 3 MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE TO MANUALLY SWITCH THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER COUNTLESS TIMES FOR THIS AND IT'S ALMOST GETTING TO THE POINT OF DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHEN THEY GO OUT. IF SOMEONE DIDN'T SEE ME THEY WOULD HIT ME HEAD ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR AT NIGHT OUT OF FEAR OF GETTING PULLED OVER OR GETTING HIT BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON AT ALL. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS AND HOPE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE HEARD OF COUNTLESS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING OR REASON. THEY WILL FLICKER AT ANY TIME ANY PLACE NO MATTER WHAT. I CAN NOT KEEP THEM ON FOR ANYTHING. PLEASE I'M BEGGING FOR ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS MATTER. I LOVE MY CAR AND DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GET ANOTHER ONE FOR THIS. I'VE ALREADY TRIED FIXING IT AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP POSSIBLE.
