Don't forget the few members that will have a little argument inside the thread. They will then start a new thread to make up, after they feel good and make up then 20 other members well throw in their 2 cents.

Synthetic oil on some high mileage light bulbs will make them leak.

AND add another member .....

to the total. His debate is whether the light bulb failure was caused by the use of veggie oil as the main fuel propellant. Oh, yes, add another post for the guy that claims that the whole thing could have been prevented by the use of b-20 or b-100.

Regards

that claimed the use of non-stock benz lights (lamps) will cause the failure of the cruise control amp box under the dash.

Don't forget the smart*** who comes along and suggests the original poster forgot to refill the blinker fluid while changing the bulb, a maintenance measure that should always be taken ...
