Come on GM.

That recall was for 2000-2004's . This one is for 1999's and some 2000's .

So you think it'd be easy enough of an issue to remedy, then.... no extreme costly re-engineering required.

I don't get why they don't just equip the vehicles with LEDs instead, don't have to worry about warping, burned socket, and looonnng life....Toyota is doing an onslaught of LED taillamps....

Their flagship (LS430) has a ground up redesign going for sale here in just a few months (LS460) and on the long wheelbase version it will be using LED headlights, actually... which I thought was pretty interesting.

I know Lincoln has a car coming out soon (or maybe it was a concept?) that's doing the same. It's a very very flexible dynamic way to light ahead of you as the height, left to right angle, brightness, and even 'beam pattern' is adjustable on the fly with no actual moving parts.
