Default SMOKE !!!!!!!!!!!


I JUST NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM MY 09 G8GT ON THE LEFT FRONT PILLAR WERE THE PLASTIC AND THE ROOF COVER MEET. THE WIRING FOR THE VANITY LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS PINCHED BETWEEN THE ROOF PAD AND THE FRAME. IF YOU REMOVE THE PLASTIC FOR THE DRIVERS VISOR WERE IT MOUNTS TO THE ROOF THAT IS WERE IT WAS KINKED ABOUT 3 INCHES DOWN FROM THE CONNECTOR.

Thanks for the tip! I would be more concerned about the fact that it didn't blow a fuse. Something else may be up here.

Default vanity light

Speaking of vanity lights, they are useless. Has anyone tried using them in the dark? There needs to be brighter bulbs for them. Does anyone know if you can put a higher wattage bulb in? I had the dealer look at it and they said, that is the way it was made.

You'll never catch me admitting to ever using the vanity light
