Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving in the evening the lights started to blink off and on. shortest duration about 2 seconds. longest duration about 20 seconds with lights off resulting and my having to pull off to the side of the road without anylights at all. hitting bumps doesn't seem to cause a problem, so i assume it isn't a loose component. this has happened many times since then on smooth dry pavement. it happens on highbeam and lowbeam. more often with highbeam on. i have also tested the problem sitting still in the driveway. the same thing happens. the problem seems to be getting progressively worse with time.*ak
