| Description of the problem | Low beam headlight on passenger side went out. Repaired. One month later driver side low beam headlight went out. Repaired. Two weeks later passenger side low beam light went out. This time i examined the light, reinstalled same light, and it worked. Shortly after these incidents i stopped driving the vehicle for the summer, but it is clear that a problem exists. I doubt that the first two bulbs were actually burned out. |
