The headlight lens covers came off both headlights. During inclement weather, water got inside the headlights, causing the bulbs to stop working. Dealer determined that vehicle needed new headlight assemblies.

There is no way to turn off headlights at night, regardless of what position the headlight switch is in. The dealer said this is normal, but I think it is a safety hazard. For example, I work for the federal government (cdc), and when we turn into the parking lot we are supposed to turn off our headlights so the guard can see the parking decal and our face, and not be blinded by the headlights. I cannot do this. Also, if I see someone inadvertently driving with their headlights off, I cannot flash mine off and on to signal them. Thanks, cliff.
