Description of the problem	Headlights intermittent then go out. There are multiple technical bulletins on headlights. Lost left headlight because connectors were made of substandard material. The socked melted. Dealer wanted $800. 00 to replace the headlight. Parts and time to do it myself was about $100. 00. I do not understand why loosing headlights due to a known issue is a hard call to turn into a recall. On my way in to work this morning my right headlight went out making it 2 for 2. Headlights are a serious safety issue when it is dark. With one light out is is hard to see, in this case, the right of the road on the winding mountain road i travel in to my office. This starts as intermittent and eventually burns the connector sockets. You can do better.
