problem #2

Envoy EXT 4.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,992 miles

I think my use of enhanced performance General Electric bulbs which are higher intensity (and heat) contributed to the melting of the driver-side bulb socket. Given that a standard halogen light can be purchased for $7 and some of the high-end lights are $25 ea. I read somewhere that lamps degrade and they (they - they people who make money off us) recommend replacing the bulb after a year. I don't blame GM as I used an aftermarket product that probably exceeded their spec. IMHO, the solution is to simply watch for sales and replace the standard halogen light on an annual basis to get continuously acceptable brightness without burning out the wiring.
