GM's Position on Altering Exterior Lighting Components
General Motors does not recommend or endorse “tinted/smoked” headlamps, tail lamps or other exterior lighting components. These components are
engineered specifically to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and should not be altered.
Parts that have been altered, modified or tampered with are not covered under warranty. Please refer to Policy & Procedures Manual Section 1.2.2.2 - Damage
Due to Accidents, Misuse, or Alterations.
Altered, modified or tampered with parts will be subject to debit.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
