Not sure if he was being sarcastic or not... GM products are supposed to have both lights on, but my observations are that the majority of GM products have one of those lights out most of the time. I think its hilarious that GM still is unable to make such a simple system work consistently...I'm sure GM electrical engineers have tried to make the DRL system durable. On the other hand, GM does sell replacement bulbs. BTW, these same engineers are the ones that designed vehicles with brake and tail light functionality through the hazard flasher circuit. Lose the functionality of the mechanical hazard flasher and you lose all tail light function. :(
I see many vehicles, now, that have headlights and fog lights operating together. IMO, that is a sure-fire recipe for bulb replacement. I also notice this with the newer HID light equipped vehicles. Why anyone needs fog lights on when they have a huge illuminating HID bulb is a mystery. I guess more is better. The above would also be true for vehicles with a row of LED's across the lense? Why have that operating with all the rest?
Oh yeah, one more peeve--when the key is turned "off" in certain GM vehicles, the back up/reverse light is illuminated. More than once, I've stopped in a parking lot, unsure if the vehicle is about to back up into the traffic lane.
