Consumer Description

THE DAYTIME LIGHTS, THE BULB HAS MELTED ITSELF INTO THE SOCKET. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE BULB, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE SOCKET ALSO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BULBS BEING TOO HOT UNTIL I WAS GOING TO REPLACE A BURNED OUT BULB. THE I REALIZED THE BULB HAD MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. THIS TENDS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR THE GMC ACADIA AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.
