Is not easliy amused.
There isn't anything on my Jeep that can be done without some sort of problem jumping up. It certainly makes it an experience I will never forget.
I decided the yellowed headlights had to go. So I picked up a pair of Sylvania replacements for $10 each (I figured it couldn't be worse than what was on it, I think they were Wagner). I go to a nice secluded parking lot and decide I want to see the difference in them. So I go and take off the plastic bezel off the drivers side light and attempt to get off the screws holding the ring on to secure the light. They don't want to go without me putting all my weight behind the screw driver.
So I get it all taken off and go to unplug it. It won't budge even the slightest. After a few minutes of anger, it starts to dislodge from the socket. Then, bingo...it comes off, but what's this...? One of the god damn pins was seized in the socket and is corroded to
...so it snapped off. I was too pissed after not getting the pin to come out and switched to the other light.
Same story here with it not budging from the socket, but after 5 minutes it came out without breaking. So I plugged in the new light and...:shocked:! The low beam from just one light was EASILY the strength of both of my old ones on the high beam. And the high beam on this new one seriously lights up signs at least half a mile away.
I got to drive 45 minutes with one headlight...and I got pulled over twice because of it. Thankfully they weren't assholes about it and understood what happened. :laugh:
Well, I felt like ranting, but be glad I didn't go into detail about my track bar fiasco.
