Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving down a narrow highway, using the high beams, the headlight system failed (no dash lights or headlights). i was using the autolamp system. i pulled to the side of the road, and tried to manually turn on lights to no avail. after waiting a minute with the car off, started it back up and headlights came back on. this happened again several times as i tried to get home. the 18 amp breaker for the lighting system was very hot. i traded the 20 amp circuit breaker from the power locks/windows system with the 18 amp breaker on the lighting system, and drove home. it did not act up again. i will try replacing the 18 amp breaker and check the load on the system with a multimeter. *nm
