Description of the problem	I bought used. One headlight was working. The other one went out shortly after i got it. We replaced the hid lights with brand new halogen lights. Was working great! Then i was driving to town late one night and my headlights went out. The low beams, i still had the high beams. Then i got pulled over cause my tail lights were not working. So i had to drive with my flashers on. Then the check airbag light came on and i need a new seat belt, cause it is not working right. The drivers door window would not roll down a little when i opened the door and the door would not lock. The lights and tail lights are making me mad cause no matter what we have done they never work. Help!!! I want it fixed!! I love my little convertible. I don't want to have to get rid of it.
