Consumer Description

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB HAS MELTED INTO THE BULB SOCKET. THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSED THE LIGHT HOUSING TO DISINTEGRATE. THE BULB WAS OEM. THE SYSTEM IS NON-OPERABLE AND GM SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS WAS ENGINEERED WRONG OR FAULTY MATERIAL WAS USED. THERE CERTAINLY IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE GIVEN THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSED BY THIS SYSTEM. *TR
