Driving down a road at 55mph and headlights went out and could not see anything for several seconds as it was night time and it was pitch black. Frantically tried all the light options and turned the light knob all the way to the right and had some light just in time to slam my brakes to not hit a deer. Made it home and checked the lights. High beams worked but both low beams did not. Replaced bulbs and still didn't work. Looked for a fuse/relay but doesn't seem to have one. Auto sensing and low beam does not work, should be a safety recall on tipm or whatever device is malfunctioning.
