My headlights haven't gone out, but I notice a lot of newer vehicle have headlights out. My K5 has had the same lights for 20 years and they still work fine. Did Ford make a car as well as GM used to or better?

Have any of your lights burned out so far?

Me 0.

You?

No headlights, but my gage lights bit the dust, and a couple in the dash are done. I fixed the gage lights, I don't feel like tearing apart the dash just quite yet. Oh and occassionally the lightbulb over my head fails to come on;)

Haven't you learned the term, "If it ain't broke, don't talk about it" Carma is a Bi**h.

except for some random lights on the inside ( drivers window switch, tune button, #5 radio preset select) everything else is good.

I replaced both CHMSL* light bulbs and one guage pod bulb. I also replaced the other guage pod bulb, the license plate bulb because it was showing it getting dark, and the 2 amber parking light bulbs because of the color coming off of them.

My gas gauge bulb was burnt out when I bought my car & my headlight switch was no longer illuminated but still worked.

Come to think about it I had to replace the light for the gas gage too.

I have only owned my car from 23k to 39k miles and I have never had to replace any bulbs. I feel like my MM is getting way up there in miles though now that it's going to hit the big 40k!

Several instrument gauge bulbs, head lights, fog lights, and tag light several times.
