"electrical power surge" is what the service department called it. Blows head and fog lights on a regular basic. I have replaced them 6 times in 2 years.

I want to add my voice to those who find the xenon headlights a danger to other drivers. They are blinding and sometimes cause a moment of being unable to see anything on the road before me. Even if the moment lasts a half-second, I think it is a safety issue. I would like to see these headlights banned.
