Headlight failure S40-V40

I guess I should tell my horror story as well. I have had the car for about 2.5 years and have but 44,400 miles so far and I have lost a total of 6 headlight bulbs, 2 on the driver side and 4 on the passenger. I have also lost 3 taillights, 2 on the passenger side and 1 on the driver side.

I went to the dealer and explained it to them and they said they would install a harness that would correct it. Well after I returned to pick up my car from the dealer they did not do so. It stated that my car doesn’t need the fix and their solution to the problem was to shut off my daytime running lights. Apparently they aren’t paying attention and didn’t hear what I said. The next time I go back, right before my warranty is up, I will make sure I get it corrected by being a complete asshole to them and insisting they do what I say or I wont leave and they'll have to call the cops to get me out.

In my opinion it sounds like the car definitely has an electrical problem (in many cars) and they either doesn’t know what it is or knows and figured it is more "cost effective" to put band aide fixes instead. I wonder if this is the Ford policy taking affect?
