Right dipped headlamp issue resulting diagnosis after new headlamp ($125) and issue still continued with need to replace headlamp ignition now ($950). I see online at this IS been a recurring problem in models from my year? And believe should be some type of weed call and reimbursement.

This create a safety issue of particularly when the headlamp goes out at night. *tr
