Default Re: Headlamp bulbs.

Update: Switches arrived over the weekend, took Freya to the shop where the faulty hazard switch/turn signal wooha was replaced. Everything works just fine now.

Just replaced headlights, fog lights, signal lights, high beam lights, marker lights, brake lights, backup lights (wow!), with LasFit LEDs. A problem emerged: the Hazard light switch failed, and so the signal lights work only if you hold down the hazard switch. New Hazard switch is already ordered as are license plate lights.
I live in rural southwest New Mexico next to the Gila Wilderness ... tons of curvy mountain roads, 30-mile-long straightaways through dust storm territory, and I'm older and really love the simple, safe, joy of seeing the road clearly in front of me.

*Hazard light switch does not engage/click/activate the hazard lights. The turn signal lights are part of the circuit, so, the switch fails, the turn signals fail. Great fun*
Costs: About $150 for the bulbs, $300 for labor. If you can install the lights yourself, great! I'm disabled, 67, and coming back from a complex hip replacement. I am no longer able to contort myself to change the builbs, and I have a storied history of, "simple," home and auto projects that became disasters. Fortunately, our little mountain town has an excellent independent import mechanic who's particularly strong in German and Italian cars. I have had better success than them in locating parts, thanks to our amazing community of Crossfire gurus, and they are very fair in their labor charges.
