Guide Corporation
 PROFILE
This Guide shows motorists the way through the dark. Guide makes auto and truck exterior lighting systems: headlamps, turn signals, tail lamps, and license plate lamps. The company took its name from Guide Motor Lamp Manufacturing, which developed the first electric headlamp before it was acquired by GM in 1928. Guide's ownership became a corporate "hot potato" after GM sold the company to investment firm Palladium Equity Partners in 1998. Despite a $50 million infusion of cash, a restucturing plan, and the installation of fresh management, Guide remained in the red. In February 2001 Guide was acquired by turnaround specialist B.N. Bahadur's Vehicle Lighting, Inc.
