A bulb at Auto Zone cost $5. Pure laziness.

Had a auto/body shop owner once tell me GM had a defect in the headlamp/electrical wiring harness back in the day. I think it was the always the right side lamps blowing out.

What is sad is the person driving should want to get their lazy arse to the auto parts store to address it, since it hinders their ability to see at night.

Unfortunately not everyone has that mindset, or has the capability to prioritize.

And mainly the RH side, because it’s the hardest bulb to change.

I don’t know if most cars have an indicator for a light out?

My old Chevy has a fiber optic indicating system for the low/high beam, tail, turn, brake and license bulb that will let you now if a bulb is burned out. Maybe ahead of its time and not really needed, but it does what it supposed to do.

Let’s talk about car batteries

I’ve owned some pos cars in my time and have never had a lamp burn out.


I have LED headlights. $180 for one bulb... I did replace mine when I figured out it was out though.

Don't buy Walmart batteries. Buy Interstate or the manufacturer battery. Every battery I've owned has lasted 7 or 8 years.
