Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION), ONE HEADLIGHT (EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT) WILL SUDDENLY GO OFF. IF I TURN BOTH LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, THEY WILL BOTH COME BACK ON. BUT ONE OR THE OTHER MIGHT GO OFF AGAIN SOON AFTERWARDS. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS (A FEW BLOCKS) AND SOMETIMES ONLY AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. IT HAPPENS ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER A NOTICEABLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, BUT OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEED (<30 MPH), MEDIUM, OR HIGHWAY SPEED.
