Through the analysis of returned warranty parts, GM has found many fog lamp housings replaced under warranty for an overheating condition. The overheating condition observed was the result of incorrect replacement bulbs that exceeded the 27 watt GM specification.

Fog lamp housings will be damaged when bulbs that exceed the 27 watt specification are installed in the housing. Housings damaged by an incorrect bulb are not a warranty item and should not be submitted to GM for reimbursement.

Refer to the GM SPO Parts Catalog for the correct replacement bulbs.
