Consumer Description
THE HEADLIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY FAIL, EITHER ONE AT A TIME, OR MORE RECENTLY BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WHEN NIGHT DRIVING. I AM ABLE TO FLIP THE SWITCH TO TURN ONE BACK ON BUT NOW THE PASSENGER LIGHT WILL NOT COME BACK ON AT ALL. I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN I NOTICE THIS HAPPENING BUT IT PROBABLY ALSO HAPPENS IN DAY LIGHT.
