Consumer Description

MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULB AND I CHANGED THE BULB BUT IT WAS STILL OUT. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY FIXED IT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55MPH THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY FIXED IT AGAIN. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR A DAY, THEN WENT OUT WHILE I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I TURNED THEM ON AGAIN IT CAME BACK ON SO I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED, THEN WHILE I WAS ON THAT SAME HIGHWAY IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND IT HASN'T COME BACK ON.
