The risk
LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING REDUCES DRIVERVISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS OR AT NIGHT, AND COULD RESULT IN AVEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy
SPLIT THE HIGH BEAM CIRCUIT INTO LEFT AND RIGHT CIRCUITS, EACH SIDE HAVING ITS OWN RELAY AND BREAKER, REPLACING THE CURRENT CIRCUIT.
