I DRIVE A 2006 LEXUS GS300 THAT IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHT RANDOMLY TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE TICKET FOR THIS. I SEE THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AN INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN OPENED. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO WHAT IM ASSUMING WAS MY OTHER SIDE, ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, I THINK IT COST ME ABOUT $1500 AT THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP. I DEFINITELY CANT AFFORD TO PAY THAT RIGHT NOW AND NOT TO MENTION I ALREADY GOT A TICKET FOR THIS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT BUT IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT. ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE METHODS I COULD USE AS A TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL I CAN GET THIS FIXED? *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ONE EVENING BOTH HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ALONE. I TURNED THE KNOB OFF AND ON AND THEY RESTARTED, BUT NOW CONTINUE TO TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES ONE SOMETIMES BOTH AFTER DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. *TR
