Big milestone yeasterday
I had been anticipating the moment for a few weeks now, then it happened on my way to work yesterday morning. The beautiful white three came rolling around clean like it had never seen the light of day and it was glorious.

Nice! 310,072 on mine! She needs a lot of work and some rust repair in the wheel wells, but once it's all done I'm going to put a lot of miles on it!

Nice! Looks like you got a bulb out, though. I have the same bulb out light on mine, even though all bulbs and fuses are new. Trying to track down some electrical gremlin in the tail lamp wiring...

Yeah, bulb out light did a photo bomb. It's cause by one of the rear running lights. The bulb is not burned out it just looses contact sometimes. Jigging it or giving the tail light a whack makes it come back on. Probably need to get a new bulb or some of that bulb grease stuff.

You need to get a new bulb holder panel. I bet you'll find that the plastic tabs that hold the metal strip are deformed or broken.
