Re: Standard, LED, and HID Lamp Solutions and Numbers
My R/H turn signal was flashing quickly, with an apparently inop R/H forward bulb.
Opened the hood and popped out the bulb, then put it right back in. I suspect dirt had built up on the contacts, as the turn signal started working again, and that was the end of the problem, with no new bulb replacement needed.
Now I have to go after the 3rd brake light. I was headed home at about midnight last night, and got pulled over by the police because "Your 3rd brake light is not working". I assume he was just fishing for drunk drivers or people driving high. That was all he had, so I was soon on my way, but I got issued a "Fix-It Ticket" which requires I send evidence to the traffic court that the issue has been resolved, before the 20th of June.
So NOW I am faced with removing my brake light assembly from the rear hatch, and sending it out for repair ($140 - WHAT IDIOT DESIGNED THIS WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE HAD A $1 BULB TO CHANGE IN 30 SECONDS?!?!??!?!) and then hoping I have it back in time to resolve the ticket. Annoyed because it will cost me so much to get the repair done, and it could fail again at any time. I am thinking about seeing what OTHER light assembly I can put in there, thus ignoring the original top brake light assembly, and just having a red light in that position that will go on with the other brake lights. Anyone ever installed a different brake light on top of the original ACME installation?
(ACME being the disastrous brand that the Coyote always used when pursuing the Roadrunner, and this apparently was designed by the same people)
