Description of the problem | Low beam headlamps continually fail, and are very dim even after installing new bulbs. I've had to replace bulbs no less that 4 times since 2012! Not only is this an expense, but more importantly, poses a significant hazard. There is no warning or specific mileage. I've never had to replace headlight bulbs in any other car i've owned. Something must be wrong with the electrical system for this to continually be happening. |
