Consumer Description

THE HID HEADLIGHTS ARE BOTH OUT, AFTER BEING ON MAYBE 5 MINUTES. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ONLINE AND FROM MY MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY MODEL OF CAR, THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. THE BALLAST IS FAULTY, AND WOULD NEED TO BE TESTED PRIOR TO REPLACING A HID LIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS, AND I SIMPLY DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AS A RESULT. WITH THE TIME CHANGE, THIS IS TO DIFFICULT.
