I have to swap in a couple of new bulbs today. I was pulled over by a neighboring town's finest on Thursday night to inform me. How nice of him.

Ha, I just did the same but wasn't pulled over. We typically get the warning ticket around here. If you show any officer/sheriff/trooper and they sign off that its fixed you send it in and no fine.

Weird whitish spots are just reflections...
Got it a bath, filled it up with beer & Chipotle, brought it home and put the new hood & rear glass struts on. As you can see, my driveway's a muddy mess so it got dirty just parking.
Oh yeah, filled it up with gas, too. Thanks to my grocery store rewards card, got it for $0.10/gal off.

Me? Had the oil and filter changed. I'm figuring the next time it may even be warm enough to actually do it myself - just like a grownup!
I also ran it through the LaserWash and was amazed that all that white salt ran off as a dirty black sludge. My jeep looked like a hot fudge sundae until it got to the rinse cycle, at which point it was green again.

Why are some people such jerks?... :favorites68:

Rolled around on the floor trying to track down the vibration I get at 60+, thought it was a missing cv boot but looks like it's a badly balanced wheel. Gave it a wash and fitted <wispers> mud flaps.

Okay, so the bad bulb is more like a short in the system somewhere (fuse was good)... both the front and rear driver's side marker lights are out. :disgust:
Last time something like that happened, we traced it bad to a bad socket. I'm hoping that's where I'll find it again.

I had an Electronic Technician CPO as an instructor in Nuke School who said the difference between a mechanical problem and an electrical problem is that the mechanical problem has the courtesy to smoke/grind/clank or otherwise tell you where it is. Electrical problems play hide-and-seek and just say "I'm broke - now come and find me." :emotions33:

I don't like that game.
Last year (or maybe 2 years ago), the turn signals on the right side wouldn't work - front and back. We ended up tracing it down to the front right bulb socket... it had melted. eek2.gif I hope this one is just as evident.
You were in New London?
I'm from CT, but near Hartford, not down there. Did see a few acts down at Toad's Place....what a dive...

Briefly, but only for about two weeks as a temporary duty station between assignments. In my day, Nuke School was in Orlando. I was there for about 8 months and never even made it to Disney World. It took everything I had studying-wise to scrape through. (And I did!)
Oh, gotcha.
My roommate between colleges, her dad was a career submariner on boomers, then a final tester on sub systems for a contractor. Got to see The Hunt For Red October with him. That was pretty cool...

Now for a moment of silence................................
RIP 3.7,DOA March 6th at 3:43pm due to dropped exhaust valve(not the seat,go figure) on cylinder #2 via autopsy on March 8th using a borescope.Popped a hole in the piston,damaged head,cylinder wall,and did some fun when the valve spring/rocker rolled around(I imagine,have not pulled valve cover).
It had a hard,but short life(94,242 miles) life but well maintained but could not handle life with another car in the family.It went out in a blaze of glory playing "Tag" on the interstate.
But don't worry,it will return to life when I get off my lazy butt and fix it.Still in limbo if it will get something special or another 3.7,we will see.
