My headlights are shorting out. mainly the daytime and low beams. i also have a highbeam assembly part that has broken. the lights started to flicker a little now and then. then it got to the point the low beams just cut out. i am in total darkness. i ran off the road. the highbeams are sometimes affected but usually remain working. however the one high beam does not work due to the fact the internal holder clip for the bulb just broke one day. there is no after market part for this. it is a problem. i am the working poor. i can not afford an other ticket. i already have one for this unresolved problem. *tr
