WHEN EVER THE CAR IS DROVE WITH ITS LIGHTS ON BRIGHT, AFTER 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE LIGHTS START TO FLICKER AND EVERY THING IN THE DASH GOES OUT ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS, WHICH LEAVES YOU IN TOTAL DARKNESS, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES FROM THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HOW IT CAN BE CORRECTED? THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE DIMMS ON WHILE DRIVING...
