Consumer Description

AFTER HAVING THE LIGHTS TURNED ON FOR AN HOUR ON LOW BEAM THE METAL POST HOLDING THE SWITCH ON GETS INCREDIBLY HOT AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER PARK THE CAR SHUT IT DOWN AND LET THE SWITCH COOL DOWN AND THEN I CAN USE THE HEAD LIGHTS AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. IF I SHOULD NEED TO USE THEW HIGH BEAM LIGHTS I CAN ONLY RUN THEM FOR MINUTES BEFORE THEY GO OUT.*AK
