“Slowed down to take a right turn, turned right and started to speed up and the headlights shut off and would not come back on. I had to drive home, holding the bright lights on manually. Even at 20 MPH, it was very scary, could not imagine this happening at the speed of 55 or higher. Very dangerous!!”
