The electrical housing for headlight meltdown creating possibly risk of fires. Was driving when feel some burning smelling inside the car, nothing el happened until stop the car, while stop the car and completed the purchases of some groseras when re start the vehicle the dash board light indicating light bulbs need to be heck is on after inspection all light seems like is working ok but the warning light still on. After more close inspection and guide by the smoking/ burning smell discover some of the lectrical connector melted with the original factory light bulbs. My concern is the vehicle factor setup can produce combustion and make the vehicle catch fire.

The headlights go very dim 2 seconds after they are turned on. It's very dangerous because you cant see anything more than 3 inches in front of you.

When then headlights are turned on the left front fog light turns on, when the car turns left, when it is returned to the middle the fog light turns off. This only occurs when the headlights are on, it does not happen when it is turned to the right.
