DURING THE NEXT DAY I HAD MY 1992 CADILLAC SERVICED TO SEE IF THE MECHANIC COULD FIND OUT WHY THE LIGHTS ARE TURNING OFF. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO WHEN I DECIDED TO GO OUT FOR DINNER MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AGAIN. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT IS WORKING WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE PARKING LIGHT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING DOWN COUNTRY SIDE ROADS IF IT WAS TOTALLY DARK OUTSIDE I WOULD HAVE HAD A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR
