Johnhav430

For example, on my wife's car made by GM, it starts around age 3, with the rear lamps on the outside, which handle brake/signal. Then it goes to the front drls. I replaced the right a few weeks ago, the left today. Don't you wish you had $15 for every time you saw a GM car with a bulb out? I think you'd retire 3 years early. If I posted this on my other forum, I'd be banned and the UAW would crawl out of the woodwork.

I cannot prove it, but based on what my wife's cousin says, who works in the business, GM is pretty bad, Fiat Chrysler is the worst. I don't think the bulbs coming out are LL's. I compared, both are Sylvanias in the DRL's, one says 0556 1431 A5, the other, 1835 3470 A7. On rock auto, the LL's cost 55 cents more. Maybe for GM, 5-10 cents?

Haven't done the front signals, or the rear inside park or backup lamp. Any of the other 4 in the rear require the entire hatch to be disassembled, so when that happens, I would do all 4 bulbs with LL's.

Curious if the LS430 has any bulbs burn out other than the 7440 high mount, which is easy. My Maxima only had rear brake/park, and front turns, in 18 yrs. But at year 18.5, the entire right front park and turn signal went out, could be a ground...
