Hello Peachparts friends.
I was just pulled over by the Virginia State Police for having "no tail lights".
Surprised I asked to see and went to look. Yep. They are working.
He went so far as to say " the only reason they light at all is because my lights are shining on them. " I tried not to laugh as I didn't want a ticket.
I explained that the car was 30 years old (he wasnt yet) and they were this 'bright' as long as I have owned the car. I also mentioned it is inspected and passes every year. Never failing for tail lights.
I mentioned that I would check other cars of the same vintage and compare lumens.
I have a pic I took on the side of the road a few minutes ago it is too big to upload here.
Anyone interested, please post yours. No flash please.
Thanks.
