Consumer Description
WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL NEW LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM, AND ANGEL EYE BULBS I DISCOVERED THAT ALL THE PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE WIRES INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS MISSING OR CRUMBLING OFF. THESE EXPOSED WIRES ARE A CERTAIN FIRE HAZARD. ANY ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE WIRE COATING RESULTED IN MORE COATING CRUMBLING OFF, EXPOSING YET MORE OF THE WIRE.
