For about 3-4 years now I've been observing something to me to be very interesting. I live in Ohio which except for a few larger cities has no motor vehicle inspection. What I've observed over time is the number of vehicle headlight and/or front parking lights that are not working. I'm talking about one headlight or parking light that is out. With no inspections these could be out for quite a long time but that's not my point. It's the manufacture of the vehicle that I'm talking about...
In my unofficial survey General Motors is the by far the major contributor to the problem. And the absolute number one offender by far is the Chevy/GMC pickup truck. Absolutely amazing the number of GM pickup's with burned out lights. Also, GM Suv's & cars, etc have a higher rate of outages but can't compare to the pickup's. Now your mileage may vary, but I rarely see Fords or Asian vehicles of any type with a light out. The GM thing is so bad (to me) that when I see a vehicle with a light out coming toward me it is 99 out of 100 a GM vehicle and usually a pickup. So keep an eye out for the light out. Hehehe..

PS I have a Chevy S10 and I had a burned out bulb a while back...
