You forgot the one to post that if the bulb changer had spent the 5,000 dollars more in the first place, he'd of had a bulb that didn't NEED changing!

of course, the list above is totally dependent on whether the bulb screws in or simply plugs in.

Can't you just refill it with some Halogen Fluid without changing the whole lamp?

Gotta be cheap and faster.

Oh man,

I am really confused. I thought it was blinker fluid! Now they have Halogen fluid?

What is the best website to buy that on? How much should I get? Is it car specific?

Severus look what you started.

That would depend on if it is a blinker bulb or not.
