2007 Hyundai Elantra lighting problems

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai elantra. While driving approximately 65 MPH the drivers side fog light ignited into flames. The vehicle was driven onto the emergency lane where the fire was extinguished by some passing by. The police and fire department arrived; however, he was unsure if there was a report filed. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 48,000.

For a few months I had a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car when my car was idling on a city street facing downhill (at a stop sign). Then it got suddenly worse for 2 days, so that it rattled all the time when idling in drive or park (stopped at lights or signs or in a parking space). Then it completely stopped rattling - and the next day another driver on the highway, on the 4th of july, notified me that my brake lights were not working. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not.
