| Description of the problem | Low beam lights randomly go out after being on for a short time. I've been battling this issue since 2013 when i bought the car. The dealer says my low beam headlights are burnt out. I can turn the headlight switch off and back on quickly and the affected light comes back on. I do this several times a day when it is dark out. I even had small led lights mounted into my dash and wired into each low beam bulb so i can see if one goes out while driving in town at night as it can be difficult to know if one when out. |
