| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: One afternoon i got into my car and started it up, when suddenly i saw smoke arise from the front of my engine and smelled a sweet smell, but the smoke and smell soon dissipated, however i then noticed that my driver's side headlight was going dim and shortly thereafter i had no headlights! i am currently without headlights making it difficult to go to and from work. we have not tried to repair this ourselves because we did not know what the problem was. we checked the fuses and the bulbs which all seem to be normal. all the old parts are still on the car, however, the connector to the driver's side headlight had partially melted. *tr |
