Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Thanks. They closed over an hour early just as I approached the drive-thru because the management team at that particular McDonald's really hates the customers and knows that we are only here to make her life easier. Just as well. I went across the street and got tacos at 'the Bell'.

As I left the house I noticed a front side-marker light was out. Turns out there was just enough corrosion (a slight white flaky residue on the electrical contacts) to keep the bulb from making contact. I cleaned it as best I could with some solvent & a brass brush and as the bulb was still the original one and slightly darkened I changed it. Every YOUTUBE video that stated what bulb to get was wrong. It led to me leaving the following YOUTUBE comment:

1:22 (RE your bulb recommendation) The original OE bulb from the factory has all this written on it... E1 2CA E33 W5W 12V
When you do a GOOGLE search (of all that) it returns a 2825 bulb which has a 5W consumption as both the owner's manual & the back of the plastic bulb housing specify. A 194 bulb (as you recommend) only draws 3.8W and might appear a little dim.
