| While driving the car at night on the highway at 65 mph headlights went out. tried turning them on and off, still didn't work. the only reason there was no fire or crash is because i used my hazard lights to find my way to the breakdown lane. headlights, being up there with tires, are one of the most important safety features a car can have, and them failing in the middle of the night on the highway is not something i particularly enjoy.*ak | |||
