| Description of the problem | The brake lights and head lights keep over heating. Causing the light to continuously burn out. It has caused damaged to the light housing to where the light bulb doesn't fit into the housing it has also caused the wire to be burnt leading to the sockets. I am afraid my car is going to catch fire with me and my kids in it. I have been pulled over for the brake light being out then had to explain that its not out the bulb just wont go back in the housing. |
