Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK ON THE LOW BEAM SETTING. FOUND THE HEADLIGHT RELAY TO HAVE HEAVY CORROSION. THE FRONT MOST TERMINAL HAS CORRODED OFF OF THE RELAY ENTIRELY AND IS NOW STUCK IN THE ELECTRICAL BOX UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THIS CONDITION WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE EARLY EVENING JUST BEFORE SUNSET. I WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT HOME BEFORE THE LACK OF LIGHT CAUSED ANY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE FUSE IS DESIGNATED R11 ON THE ELECTRICAL BOX. IMPROPER SEALING OF THE ELECTRICAL BOX HAS LED TO MOISTURE BE ALOUD IN CAUSING DAMAGES. FAULTY CONSTRUCTION FROM MANUFACTURER.
