I put in a Technostalgia kit after the halogens burnt out, still have the same problem. The funny thing about it is that I didn't do anything wrong, and the person who wasn't paying attention will give ME a dirty look like it was my fault that they wasn't driving resposibly. I stopped worring about it, I know that my 'Bolt will survive a bump in the butt better than the plastic things that they call frontends on modern cars.
All you need to do to see the true nature of the human animal is drive down the highway. It's not pretty. They will kill you then drive on like nothing happened.
