My speed was about 45 MPH and two lane road with lot of turns. No other traffic in front or behind me. I turned high beams on and there we go, headlights gone. I pulled quickly fog lights on to have some lights. No other options than continue to the next place where I could pull car to side of the road. When stopped I checked if knocking ECM works but it didn't, normally it does. I released four screws and pulled ECM out. Installed my spare ECM, no lights. …”
