Approximately one and a half hours after arriving at work the engine compartment caught on fire. The car was parked, not running, sitting in a parking space. The fire department felt that the fire originated behind and below the passenger side headlight assembly. There appears to be some kind of fan/blower located in that area just ahead of the passenger front tire. The weather was good, no precipitation and approximately 60 degrees fahrenheit. *js

My complaint is the new xenon headlights on automobiles. The are so bright that i am continually blinded by oncoming vehicles having them. There is really no need for such overly bright headlights, especially considering the hazard they pose to oncoming traffic. There must be something that can be done to minimize the effect of these lights.
