EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOES OUT. I HAVE TO SHAKE OR WIGGLE THEM TO GET THEM TO WORK SOMETIMES. FINALLY, THEY WILL STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER AFTER A FEW DAYS. THE LIGHTS MOST OF THE TIME WILL NOT COME ON AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND I START IT UP AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME BACK ON.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEAD LIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROAD, TURNING, REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER. . SOMETIMES ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT OTHER TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. YELLOW FOG LIGHTS STAY ON . BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK AND TURN ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, OPEN THE HOOD OF MY TRUCK AND MOVE THE WIRES AROUNF THAT ATTACHES TO THE HEADLIGHT THAT WENT OUT. IT WILL WORK MOMENTARILY AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. THIS IS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL CURRENT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AND NOW BOTH GO OUT. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS.
