What owners wrote
Ongoing problem with tail light being inoperative, repairs by the dealer on four occasions, but problem reoccurring. Feel free to provide any further information.
Low beam bulb inoperative due to defective ground plate inside right headlight assembly. I replaced the right headlight assembly on aug 15, 2004. On sept 4, 2004, the right low beam light bulb quit working. I took the headlight assembly out and noticed the ground wire going to the low beam bulb had "melted". The old headlight that I replaced also had a "melted" ground wire. This is a possilbe fire hazard.
