“I own a 2012 Corvette grandsport purchased new. Car has 12,635 miles in it. I was driving into town last night and head lights just shut off leaving me in complete darkness. I was coming into tuscaloosa and managed was fortunate to have enough area lighting to safely come to a stop and pull into a parking lot. I tried what I knew to try but lights would not come back on. I was able to hold the turn signal switch in the flash position to get high beams to work. I turned around and headed back home continuing to hold turn signal switch in flash position. …”
