S-10 Pickup

  • Manual transmission
  • 107,000 miles

The center mounted brake light melted its own housing when using the manual recommended lightbulbs, the entire plastic housing melted after sitting in traffic pressing the brake for extended time. THis caused the center brake light to not work (obviously) and also caused the interior light to fall out of the ceiling... Since this car lacks dedicated turn signals, when indicating it now only has a single brake light operating greatly increasing the risk of being rear ended sitting waiting for a right turn with indicator on, watch out! Replacement units not even available for the extended cab model like mine.
