Consumer Description

RIGHT FRONT HEADLAMP REPEATEDLY GOES OUT AND IT'S NEITHER THE BULB NOR THE FUSE! SUBSEQUENTLY STUCK DRIVING HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS (TO SEE WELL ENOUGH TO NAVIGATE SAFELY) BUT FEARFUL THE GLARE CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OPPOSING TRAFFIC - A TWOFER! NOTE; BANGING ON THE SIDE OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WITH CLOSED FIST 'SOMETIMES' HAS IT COME BACK TO LIFE. LOOKED ONLINE AND - SURPRISE, SURPRISE - THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING! SADLY, I'M AFRAID SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED AND I JUST HOPE NOT TO BE INVOLVED.
