Why is there no underhood light in a Tahoe?

[StevenFromTexas]

Sounds like someone wasted their money...my '92 Pickup also has an underhood light...obviously makes the Tahoe an inferior vehicle, the hell are we thinking owning these piles of sh*t?

Yeah! Pile it on GM!!

Half-baked my ass. It took me 2 seconds to run a google search for this on a cell phone. Like I said earlier, try doing some research before you are made to look stupid again.

Steven, the only bulbs I'm familiar with that have mercury in them are florescent. Those just started making an appearance in cars in the last few years, ie, Cadillac headlights. Good luck going to autozone for one of those. They don't have them. You'd be better off contacting LKQ or (God forbid you do this) the dealer.

I didn't say your excuse isn't true. I said it's half baked if it's why GM took the route to

discontinue under hood lights. They could have been installed with an on/off switch.

I'm not arguing the failure of GM not coming up with something else. Just answering your question. You wanted to know why. That's your answer. You even referenced older cars. I showed you how laws have changed since then.

Besides, your exact words were that I 'made up' that answer. And Steven said 'half baked'.

It's not made up or half-baked when it is supported by fact.

I said HALF BAKED, not StevenFromTexas. But my name is Steven too, so I guess you are halfway right in the long run. And I didn't say you made up the excuse, those were not my words. I said, "You (and GM) didn't think ahead very much when coming up with this excuse, did you?" It's a lame excuse. GM could use underhood lights with on/off switches.... IF they wanted to.

It's sorta a mute issue anyway in my book. Anybody who stands on the side of the road after dark working on a car under the hood is crazy. I won't even change a flat tire on the side of the road in broad daylight now, I have the vehicle towed in. People drive too crazy nowadays. If people have seen the death and carnage I have, they wouldn't do anything on the side of the road. And they get away from the vehicle while waiting for a tow truck too.

This excuse that gm is cutting corners makes no sense. Did a 90's model come with navigation and 20"chrome wheels. I don't think so. Did GM offer free roadside assistant for the first 100k back in 1992 ?. Gm is not cutting cost by not including a light under the hood. They are focusing on generating profits by building more expensive trucks. If the dealership offered it as an add on would you have paid for it? How big of a deal is it really.
