Topic: What the hell is up with those chevy truck driving lites??? on the newer chevies

[Makohon]

dont know if you guys notice this but it bothers the hell outta me.... about 1/2 of all newer chevies i see driving they have one driving lite out?!?!?!?!?!? ask why it bothers me... i dunnooo it just does, is it just me that notices little $hit like that or have you guys noticed the same thing on cheee vees???  

[crawlerdan]

actually. i work at a body shop, and the accurate number ie 82%- general motors uses a bad bulb in the factory, that was not designed to run 24/7. we replace em every day. the years affected are 88 to present

[UNBREAKABLE]

I always wondered why they were like that....

[Makohon [OP]]

ahhhhhh... thats what i was thinkin!!! everyday i drive to work everyother cheee veeee has that damn lite out!! boy do i love them chee veees

You're definately not alone in this, I always notice these and get a little chuckle out of the superb "chevy quality" it represents.  When you don't care enough to use a quality product on your truck it basically says you don't care about how your brand quality is percieved.  Sadly, chevy/gmc seems to have dropped to the bottom rung of the already low level of standards and quality of american rigs.      I love my dad's 72 chevy, sure seems like they had a lot more pride in their products back then.

I giggle at that too..

Cheap bulbs added to poor quality ground equals damned near ever freaking one yousee having a lite out...

and then half the time people replace em with the wrong bulbs...3157s instead of 4157s, and they go out pretty quickly as well.

Nothing looks worse coming down the road than a new truck with a light out...sorta screams DONT BUY ONE!

[germ]

Funny, I see it so often that I assumed it was designed to do that...Hmmmm Then I noted that it was on different sides so I kinda scratched my head about that.

I was discussing this with a friend of mine a few months ago, funny that it should get brought up here....it bugs the hell out of me, but then again....it IS a chevy

yep,    my sisters  98 GMC Jimmy  had one out when she got it , 2 weeks later the ignition switch caught fire

talk about quality

[*FFC*]

Come to think of it, it was yotaweelr that I was discussing it with

Isn't there a recall for em yet?

[79coyotefrg]

dont know,   the little s10 i ,well, kinda rented   did the same thing with the ignition switch

[79coyotefrg]

they actually run like 8 gauge wire thru the switch,  like idiots,  they never heard of a dang relay

Would this affect the GMC's too?
