| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 vw beetle that i have replaced the headlights on about six times. The taillights have been replaced three times. Now my headlights won't stay on. I believe this is a design flaw, because if you push on the lights, they will comrade on. However if i hit just a small bump in the road, they will go out. This is a hazard, especially driving in the dark. |
