You forgot the one that will come and post a joke ;)

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

Don't it all add to making the day go quicker...

And you forgot the one that pipes up and states that he's "...got a spare one somewhere if you wants it, 'cos the one you've got won't fit the pre 2001 Model year car that you've got as it should have 2 connectors and not 3..."

What else have all of us self employed idol people got to do other then read these forums...?

or a discharge one

or a neon one

[Noel]

Hey, have you noticed how this thread is turning into the exact points that were made at the beginning ?!?

[Niraj]

i'm being threatened with a 24hr ban... HELP!!!!!

[TonyDownunder]

Surely at least one person would post a complaint about the dealer who sold the light bulb and I am sure I heard the filament rattle

[star a]

and also the 'why would you want to change it' post.

[Monster-Mat]

LED's are not Lamps there Diodes

[Bazza]

LED's are not Lamps there Diodes
