2 elderly forum members to reminisce about how much better the light bulbs wer in the old days
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

L.M.A.O. :D :D priceless :D :D

It sounds like some threads we have here. :D

:D I thought that was a good one. :D

It also takes:
1 member to read the post, and change the bulb wrong, and fry his car, then post the results of what went wrong...

20 to say that they read the post wrong and they shouldn't be working on cars...

5 to say that if you don't use the proper wattage bulb it will fry everything, and cause major damage to electronics...

...and...
 

1 to ask if switching to synthetic oil will make the bulbs last longer or burn brighter.

:D Hilarious

(1) to ask if it was burned out, or just changed as Preventative Maintenance ... ;)

We need somebody to tell us that it's Bush'es fault that the light bulbs of the poor and middle class burn out, while the light bulbs of the rich robber baron Republican and Libertarian capitalists burn ever brighter. (It just hasn't been the same since those guys went over to BenzWhirled dot org).

Ahh--Ya took mine :D

Cheers,

Bill

Maybe one to suggest using frequency grease.
...or...better yet...
How many forum members would it take to change the muffler bearings?

At this point I must throw in this story-

My friends wife was making a run to the auto store and asked the rest of us if we needed anything. Hmmm----I need some headlight fluid, yellow and not the blue. Ok she says as the rest of us hold back tears. Off she goes, and upon her arrival back with the goods told me she would never ask if I needed anything again. To this day I would love to talk to the counter person that helped her. :)

Sorry-off subject I know but couldn't help but to throw it in after reading the muffler bearings comment...

Cheers,

Bill

Cheers

Ahh, but which brand of synthetic oil?? :D

Ah yes, at least 100 mender to comment and argue about the merits of one brand or other.

By my count Turbodiesels original post had 187 members in there. We have now added another 27, bringing the total to 214.
Great job guys.

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. :D

...and then flame you mercilessly if your decision didn't follow his exactly (you forgot that part ;))

and don't forget to never deviate from the oem model designation and never ever ever call the engine a ''motor'' ...hehe :D

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

How about almost 2 years later?

nice one grave digger

What find of O ring should we use?

Make the second to last one

2 elderly forum members to reminisce about how much better the MB's were in the old days

Has anyone tried upgrading to LED's?

You forgot me in the list, one to do the search and still not be able to figure it out and start a new thread on it anyway :-D

What oil do you think is best, because I know Mobil is better. :D

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.

Run-Em

Oh, forgot one guy ....
 

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

Regards

Run-Em

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 ... ;)
