Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED 6 PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WIRING HARNESSES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS DUE TO THE HARNESS MELTING AT THE LIGHTBULBS CONNECTOR. ALSO REPLACING LIGHTBULBS EACH TIME BECAUSE ONCE THE HARNESS MELTS THEY CANNOT BE SEPARATED CAUSING AN ADDED ADDITIONAL COST EACH TIME TO THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A NEW LIGHTBULB HARNESS 3 WEEKS AGO & HAD IT INSTALLED DUE TO MY LOW BEAM GOING OUT YET AGAIN, & YESTERDAY EVENING NOTICED IT WAS OUT AGAIN!!!! AFTER ALL THE TIME AND MONEY SPENT, I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS AND FRANKLY IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO KNOW ELECTRICAL STUFF IS BURNING UP UNDER YOUR HOOD THAT SHOULD BE SAFE! ALSO IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS OUT IN MY STATE GEORGIA.
