Consumer Description

WHEN I TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS TO THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING A ELECTRICAL SMELL. STOPPED MY CAR AND SAW THE FRONT LEFT OF MY CAR ON FIRE AND SAW THE FOG LIGHT SMOKING. MY FIG LIGHT SWITCH IS ALSO IN THE WIPER CONTROL THAT WAS BEING RECALLED ON OTHER COROLLAS AND DONT KNOW IF THAT HAS AN EFFECT WITH THE WIPER CONTROL SHORTING OUT. I PUT OUT FIRE AND TURNED OFF FOG LAMPS AND NO PROBLEM. BUT WHEN I TURN FOG LAMP ON I HAVE THE PROBLEM WHERE IT STARTS TO SMOKE THERE. *TR*JB
