Description of the problem | Headlights (low beams) began to flicker before completely going out a few days later while driving. Replaced the bulbs and checked the fuses. Experienced the same issue a few months later while starting the vehicle. Replaced both head light assemblies. Six months later the same issue repeated itself but with both low beams and high beams. Bought new bulbs again and they only survived a few months before going out completely. Serious driving hazard and inconvenient drive-time constriction, considering that i have to plan my driving around daylight hours and hope it doesn't rain. I believe it is the wiring harness causing the issue due to poor design of wires being too close together and causing a short. Fog lights and parking lights still work consistently. |
