Description of the problem | While driving at night with lights in the "automatic" position, the headlights will randomly switch to parking lights as indicated on the dashboard display and based on what i can see out the windshield. After 5 to 10 seconds the lights will turn back on as indicated by the dashboard display and what i can see. The problem is most common at highway speeds but has occurred on city streets as well. It usually occurs within the first 10 minutes of driving. If the headlight control switch is turned manually to the "on" position, the lights will function correctly. |
