Both daytime running lights and headlights and high beams cut off while driving. Was pulled over for defective equipment. Wires in passenger headlight melted, didnt check drivers side. There are recalls on the 06 envoy headlights, but I was informed that it doesnt apply to my VIN. Even though I am can no longer drive at night due to vehicle defect
I parked my car and went into a store and when I came out I could smell a burning smell. My car would not unlock from the drivers door and when I got into my car I seen that my electrical panel on the drivers side blew up.
