Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have been driving at night on several different occasions and had the headlights suddenly go out on me. the switch for the lights seems to be warm at these times. the heater seems to cause the switch to heat up and when it gets hot the lights go off. it may cause an accident one of these times if it isn't fixed. i'm not sure if replacing the switch will help or if it will happen even with a new switch beacuse of the heat problem. maybe the design of where the switch is is bad. please advise me on what to do. thank you.*ak
