The led light is supposed to have a constant voltage but in the day ther voltage is lower because the lights dim there needs to be a additional adjustment made or attachment so it causes the head light to fail
I smelled a burning scent through my vent while driving..Driver side headlight had burned out. I’ve seen the same issue with a wiring harness that needed to be replaced with a previous charger that I had that was recalled
Melted headlight connector.Have replace headlight connector and headlight bulb several times. Using the manufacturers recommend bulb. 9005LN. On 3/21/23 it overheated again an cause a electrical fire behind the headlight assembly. It is fleet police car and I have several cars that have the headlight connector melted and replace.
Main Head Lamps go out with no warning or indicator saying that the lamp is off, and it MAY or MAY not come back on....In this case it is ( at this time ) only the Driver side Lamp. This is Intermittent and no rhyme or reason as to why . This particular Lamp assembly is a specific FACTORY LAMP and also , from my understanding. incorporates a FACtORY Ballast.
WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS WENT SO DIM (IT'S ALWAYS ON THE AUTO SETTING) THEN I SWITCHED IT TO THE POSITION TO THE RIGHT OF IT AND LIGHTS BECAME BRIGHT, BUT WHEN I PUT IT BACK TO AUTO I COULDN'T HARDLY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER HARDLY AT ALL THE RADIO SCREEN WENT DIM AS WELL AND NONE OF MY LIGHTS WORK THAT ALL ON MY MIRROR ABOVE MY VISORS WORK AND THE LIGHTS DON'T WORK IN THE CENTER TOP EITHER WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTONS. ACTUALLY THOSE HAVEN'T WORKED FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHERE MY RADIO ACTUALLY HAS GONE OUT COMPLETELY AND I SPY MATER HAS GONE THEM DIM. BUT SCARED ME TODAY BECAUSE IT WAS ACTUALLY DARK OUT AND I COULDN'T SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING
