Description of the problem	While driving on the freeway one or both headlights flicker then turn off. This happens all the time and the only way to get the lights to come back on is to turn them off and then back on again. It is getting progressively worse and the dealer said i have to bring the car in for evaluation when the lights go out. Unfortunately i have to do this during business hours when it is dark to know that my lights are out. And when both lights go out it isn't a good idea to leave them off so i can drive to the dealer. Both bulbs have burst in the past and have been replaced twice by the dealer. This time the new bulbs don't appear to be bursting but just turning off by themselves. The burst bulb problem started occurring when i had less than 20k miles but now the dealer said both light housings needs replaced at my cost of over $5000.
