I own a 2005 so I don't have this problem, but I swear every 2007 and up Tahoe has a burnt out running light. Is this a common issue? Or am I the only one that sees this?

Usually it's the 00-06 that have the problem. Mine never had the problem.

Usually, it's not your bulb, it's the socket. Replace the bulb and it will keep doing the same thing. Most of them are because the socket looks burnt and is...

Thanks, I'll double check on that before just slapping a new bulb in there! :)

LOL ... maybe GM likes to keep some "traditions alive??" From wayyy back in the day various Corvairs and a 67 Camaro RS Convertible I owned ... always had rear light bulb "issues!"

They just moved the "tradition" up front in the form of Daytime Running lights!! :)
