Daytime running lights burn out all the time, and I have been doing a survey on other like trucks, chev 2002 ,2003, and 2004, for every (10) I check (7) have a light out on one side or the other up front under the headlights .
Safety issue. The day time running lights on full size gm trucks burn out frequently. I replace at least one bulb per month on my 2002 cheverlot Silverado pick up truck. This issue is evident by the number of gm trucks you see on the road with at least one bulb burned out. I personally know people that have given up on replacing these bulbs and are driving with out the day time running light. I have filed a comlaint with gm (file number 1-211800556). Dealer says that the vehicles that they have done diagnostic checks on show no problems. The dealer also says all they can do is replace the bulbs (at a cost if you are out of warranty).
Headlight failure.
Consumer states while trying to use the high beams, the headlights with out warning will cross paths left light with rear to right and left to right resulting in limited light to the side of the road.
