2 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem of the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan

Failure Date: 01/24/2014

While driving my car, the right low beam headlight went out and the dashboard warning light came on - I stopped the car and looked to see what headlight was out and noticed the right side low beam was out. I went back into the car to head home (only about three miles away 0 but at night), and the other light went out as well - both headlights (low beam) stopped working - I made an appointment with the dealership Monday morning. I had previously received a recall letter and made an appointment two weeks ago to have this looked at - was told it was taken cared of but experienced issues there after. I just wanted this information recorded and make sure the lights do not fail because of a recall issue and safety concerns while driving with the family.
