Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAMS JUST GO OUT. I HAVE MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I AM BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS LIT. I SEE THEY RECALLED THE 2006 AND LATER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK AT A SHOP AND WE SEE , ON AVERAGE, 10 PER YEAR THAT ARE 2005 AND THAT'S JUST IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. IF I SET A HALF HOUR, SOMETIMES AN HOUR THEN THE DIMS START WORKING AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS MAY 5TH OF 2018
