When car gets hot, the low beam lights will not turn on. There is an existing recall for Corvette c6 models from 08-13. But there are none for Corvette c6 z06 models from 08-13 even though the fusebox, headlight wiring is identical.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2010

I've had repeated failures that have required multiple repairs 1. Engine knocking- repeated repairs, upper end replaced knocking and engine roughness still there 2. Transmission- failure of clutch plates, replaced problem not resolved, transmission slipping is increasing 3. Electrical system failure: the electrical system completely shuts down, nothing operates even the hazard warning lights- this has occurred a minimum of 8 times. Relays, switches wiring battery get extremely hot until battery bleeds down. High potential for electrical fires and car cessation of operations have left us in perilous conditions on multiple occasions.

No high beam head lights. Fuse did not blow, bulbs checked and are good, but will not light. Had checked, and found short in wiring harness and fuse box. Dealer will not repair.
