    New Headlight bulbs!

    Well, my headlight blew last week, so yesterday Terry (hubby) decided to fix it. To our surprise the bl00dy things cost $38 each (lucky we only needed one). But with Terry's discount card we got it for $25.00.

    The moral to this story is don't drive around with ya lights on ALL the time (like I do!); It costs lots of money, I'm just glad it was the left side not the right side, as theres alot to remove to get to the right side. At least with the left it's just the battery!

    Cheers,

    Nope no super cheap here its like a 40 min drive to the nearest one, so doing calculations on gas etc it wouldn't be worth it!

    But thanks I'll know that for next time!

    Thought you might have been tempted by getting some ICE blue ones - think thats what I'll get next time.

    Is it not easy to just swap the bulbs in and out then?
