Consumer Description

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE WEB AND FIESTAS IN CANADA HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT IN THE US. CAR WAS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TURNED ON THE LIGHTS AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND THEY WERE OUT.
