| Description of the problem | My headlights (both high beam and low beam) will turn off while i am driving at night. It can also happen in the daytime, but i notice it at night. Sometimes they will just go off for a few seconds and sometimes they will turn off and stay off. When they turn off and stay off i have to pull over (which can be hard in the dark with no headlights). Stop the car and turn off the car. Then when i restart the car the headlights will work again at least for awhile. Sometimes this happens several times a night and other times it won't happen for days or even weeks. The problem first started happening about a year ago with approximately 50,000 miles on the car. I have taken it to the dealer, but they can't find a problem. |
