| Description of the problem | I was driving home and all of a sudden the headlights went out, i was able to get them on by manually using the high beams, but if i let go of the high beam shift, the lights went out. This happened about 10 times in 20 miles. It did it again yesterday on september 28, driving home and i am too scared to drive at night any more which is a problem as it is getting dark earlier. I was driving along and the headlights just went out. I could pull the high beams on which is an issue as i live in a small city but as soon as i let go of the high beam switch -- no lights. Also the high beams would go to low and back to high intermittently. I am so scared to drive my car. |
