With A Little Help From My Friends











My brake light has been burnt out for several weeks, and in order to save a little bit of money I decided to replace it myself. I got the housing off really easy but then was at a loss at how to get to the actual bulbs. Phone a friend! My dad of course. I explained to him what I was looking at and he wasn't quite sure how to get to the bulb without seeing it for himself. So I took a few photos and was about to email them to him when one of my neighbors walked over. He saw me struggling and quickly showed me how to do it. Next stop. Solon and I strolled down to the corner to our local Auto Zone with bulb in hand. I got a clerk to find what I needed and then got home and put it all back together. And ta-da! Working brake light. (I had to use my concrete core to hold the brake pedal down so I could verify that all worked.)
