Running daylight out?

One of my running daylights went out recently,replaced bulb and it still doesn't come on. I know this Is a common problem on these style trucks because almost every silverado I see on the road has only one light working. Anyone know what causes this thanks in advance.

Normally it's just the bulbs going out and people being too lazy to replace them.

I heard from someone that one side is prone to go out more because of lack of ventilation. Don't know the validity to that, but I agree with Ed. Most people don't realize they are out because they don't see them, and then the ones that do don't care to replace them. I just replaced my driver's side yesterday.

Re: Running daylight out?

the is a change up bulb to a hd bulb for the day time running lights # 4114LL {Long Life Bulb; and remember to clean the bulb with windex ,wipe dry with clean cloth. do'not touch the bulb use the clean cloth to install. the oil on your hands will transfer to the bulb and make it burn out way to soon. forgot to say replace in pairs
