Burnt out Boomerang
Has anyone else had a boomerang on the stock headlight go out?
My passenger side boomerang went out this weekend and I'm trying to figure out if replacing the board with a Switch-Back board will fix the issue. Or, would I be better off replacing the headlights with aftermarket? |

That's what I thought too. As it turns out my car was originally purchased on November 12, 2015. I am the second owner and learned about the original purchase date when I took it to the dealer last Saturday.
They offered to pay half of the replacement, but it irritated me enough that I thought I'd try other avenues first. |

I took a look at the fuses and confirmed that there is power for the parking lights to the headlight. That's not it. It looks like a problem with the headlight.
