Not necessarily. I'm guessing Pontiac went through all the DOT approvals before they started offering those taillights on the back of their G8's. I'll bet all factory lights and refelectors have "DOT numbernumbernumber" molded right in the plastic. I'm guessing all the ones from China that are made for these trucks do not have similar markings.

I've been telling you guys for years that all the light you need comes out of a set of $10-$15/each halogen sealed beam headlights from Wal*Mart and the headlight relay upgrade. Heck, just try the relays with what you got before you do anything else. Taking that factory 10.4 volts (stock wiring) and moving it up to 12-14 volts off the battery through a relay makes a world of difference. AND IT IS LEGAL.

I never did get/understand the clear taillight and side marker "style".
