Theyre like impossible to find now. I got them from a GM dealer on ebay when I first got the car.

I was going to change the 3rd light too but just never got around to it.

You can just look at the Never GM cars and they have indeed stepped up in terms of quality. But I want to know something, since Obama past the law of cars having to get 35 MPG by 2015  what is GM and Ford going to do with the Larger  SUV's such as, Tahoe,Yukon,Suburban, Expedition, and etc? Are they going to discontinue them?

american companies used to use ALLL da quality parts on trucks and SUVs cuz those sold da best, they weren't even breaking even with small cars

because of poor union contracts and stiff competition from imports, as well as battling from a bad image from da 80's-early 90's

now their making really good strides with cars...i mean its coincidence that chargers, impalas, and malibus sell da way they do.

As are impalas and malibu's. gmfleet.com/pages/submodelOverview/2009_Chevrolet_Malibu+Fleet.jsp

I was curious because I talk with techs who have been in the business for 20-30 years and most of them say the quality isn't what it use to be.

As the war in Afghanistan escalated several years ago, counterinsurgency expert David Kilcullen, a member of the team that designed the Iraq surge for Gen. David Petraeus, began to notice a new tattoo on some insurgent Afghan fighters. It wasn’t a Taliban tattoo. It wasn’t even Afghan. It was a Canadian maple leaf.

When a perplexed Kilcullen began to investigate, he says, he discovered that the incongruous flags were linked to what he says is one of the most important, and unnoticed, weapons of guerrilla war in Afghanistan and across the world: the lightweight, virtually indestructible Toyota Hilux truck.
