While driving at night my headlights will go off, I have to turn on high beams in order to see. after about 2 minutes they will come back on it will continue to happen while driving. also my back and brakes lights keep going out. I am continuously changing bulbs and the plastic part that holds the bulbs because it melts.

Hi,

There is a recall on this issue. The headlamp driver module (HDM) is bad.

Take a look at the pics below. I attached everything from the recall. What to do is contact a dealer and see if they will still take care of the problem (they should if it hasn't already been done on your vehicle). Have your VIN number ready when calling.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
