My husband had had a blood transfusion at the hospital and it was after when we started to leave, I went to the parking lot and got the car to pick him up. It was after dark and my lights would not come on when I tried to turn them as I usually did after dark. I drove to the er discharge door with no lights. While being assisted by a young man also there, we found we could not use anything but high beams. To me, this is dangerous, but we do not use the car much at night, we have dealt with it so far, but hate using it this way. I have seen that other people, online, have the same problem.

Driving on back roads at night and both my head lights went out. Pulled over to try and get them back on or figure out the problem and couldn't. Had to drive with high beams on causing problems for other drivers and myself.

I had to be to work by 6:00 am on the date of the incident. I entered my vehicle at 5:30 to leave and discovered upon ignition that the low beam headlamps were out of service. After checking the fuses under the hood and finding no issues, I was forced to make my 20 minute/9 mile drive using the high beams for visibility (with no daylight). The low beam headlamps remain out of service. (note: low beam bulbs were replaced approximately two months ago).

I was driving on the highway at night and the low beam lights went out. This was a terrifying experience as I was on a major city expressway. Shortly after this incident the lower beam lights were operable. I am concerned that this will happen again.

Low beam lights keep going out. We replaced the bulbs on the driver side several times it would work for 1 hour to 2 months then it would go out again. Now I have no low beam lights at all. Replaced the dimmer switch and it did not help.
