MANY GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLES ARE SET UP TO HAVE THEIR HEAD LIGHTS COME ON 60% OF BRIGHTNESS WHEN THEY START THE VEHICLE DAY OR NIGHT, WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES IN IS AT NIGHT . MOST PEOPLE SEE THE LIGHTS ON IN FRONT OF THEM AND THINK THEY HAVE AN AUTOMATIC SYSTEM AND DON'T BOTHER TO TURN ON THEIR HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THEREFORE DON'T HAVE TAIL LIGHTS. I HAVE ALMOST HIT TWO OF THESE IN FOGGY CONDITIONS. I HAVE STARTED KEEPING TRACK OF THE VEHICLES I SEE WITHOUT TAIL LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT. I HAVE SEEN OVER 100 IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS A RECALL ON. *TR
