Consumer Description

The wiring insulation inside of the headlight on my vehicle deteriorated, causing the wires to be exposed. The headlight stopped working because of the wires touching, and a defective lamp dash light came on. Exposed wires touching has the potential to start fires. I have completely re wrapped all of the wiring inside of the headlights with heat shrink so I no longer have the problem, although the problem first appeared after I tried replacing the light bulb
