EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I WORK ON A MILITARY BASE AND AM REQUIRED TO DIM HEADLIGHTS WHEN PASSING THROUGH A GUARD GATE. THE AUTOMATIC HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE DISABLED. GM CLAIMS THIS MEETS ALL 1999 SAFETY STANDARD AND WILL NOT FIX THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE YEAR 2000 MODEL TRUCK CAN HAVE THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS DISABLED ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. WHILE I FEEL THIS IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO DRIVER SAFETY I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR ALL THE MPS, GUARDS, POLICE THAT EXPECT NOT TO BE BLINDED BY DRIVERS APPROACHING A GUARD GATE OR CHECKPOINT. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE. DAVE SCHULTZ. *AK
