Consumer Description

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THEY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS AND ONCOMING VEHICLES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES. IT OCCURS BOTH DURING CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORT BETWEEN THE HEADLIGHT, THE VEHICLE FUSE BOX AND THE HEADLIGHT ON AND OFF SWITCH. THE HIGH BEAM SYSTEM IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND FUSES HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
