I have a 2000 pontiac firebird. At least once a month i have to change either a parking light or a fog light because it has burnt out. One of my fog lights is completely ruined and i have to purchase a whole new piece, because it was melted. I have noticed when passing other cars like mine, 9 times out of 10 they have a light out in the front. Thank you.
