Default lost dipped low beams, the rest is comical!

Lost headlight dipped, relays good, went back to stalk switch, thinking it's bad. While there, shroud off, noticed steering wheel adjuster bone dry. Sprayed it w white lith., seemed to help out. Found a bad fuse, turn on lights, FIRE IN THE HOLD! Smoke pouring out left headlight! One of the HID dipped lights, actually both simultaneously bought it. Smell is awful too, I'm staying away. I have since pulled both headlight fuses, not taking ANY chances!

Otherwise, having a fine day!

Ordered two sets of 2 each. Halogens, Sylvania ultra something and something Alfas, which have a teacher attached. Videos on YouTube for each. Now a REAL fire!
