The low beam headlights were very dim... The reson that they were dim was the small yellow front marker light (194 bulb) had burned out.. The vehicle had very limited lighting when on low beam... There is no indication that any problem exsits other than the dim bulbs... I believe that the grounding curcuit for the low beams is feed thru the side marker bulbs... This is a very dangerous problem. The driver of the vehicle had no idea of how long the lights had been dim...

I was driving and the car in front of me slammed on their brakes, there was more than a car length between us, but when i stepped on brakes the car accelerated rather than stopped.i noticed other times the car wouldn't stop when stepped on the brakes hard.since then i'm very cautious about driving in bad weather, or too close.be careful of pressing on the brakes too hard!!
