RECENTLY MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. AT FIRST THEY WOULD GO OFF AND COME BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES BUT NOW I'L BE LUCKY IF THEY TURN ON AT ALL. THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD. IN THE BEGINNING I WOULD GET OUT OF MY CAR AND PLAY AROUND WITH THE LOW BEAM RELAY UNTIL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON BUT NOW THAT DOES NOT EVEN HELP. ITS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM DUE TO THE FUSE BOX. I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE GM WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM.
