An attempt at humour ... if its lame, its lame ...

How many xxx owners does it take to a halogen bulb?

Just a shot in the dark (no pun intended). For fun, no malice intended, if it aint funny, it aint funny

Civic owners:

100 ... 98 to argue over 4200K, 6000K, 12000K or just HID conversion, one to make sure you can hear the muffler still ... one to pop the bulb.

Toyota:

None. Toyota quality means the bulb never blows out.

Mercedes:

100 ... 49 to get their lawyers, 49 to litigate over which bulb, 1 to hold the wrench, one to change the bulb

BMW 7 Series:

100. 99 to compare which watches they own ... one to change.

Pontiac Aztec

None ... nobody ever owned one long enuff to have one blow out.

Rolls Royce

None. When the bulb blows out they sell the car

997 Owners

None. They replace the entire light unit with GT3 headlamps

Redneck Pickups:

Two ... One to hold the shotgun to shoot out the other bulb so they match. One to look out for the cops.

SUV Soccer Moms:

12 ... 10 to watch all the kiddies in Walmart while shopping for the bulb. One to lookup what a bulb looks like. One to actually buy and change the bulb.

FIAT Owners

The car has bulbs? Stupid thing never ran long enuff to drive it at night.

Bimmer owners

50 ... one to bring it up in a forum, 48 to answer with 48 different links to German bulb manufactors, one to order one and install.

Ferrari

Bulbs? What are they? Do I need them to hit 210?

Elise

So I was just driving, minding my own business, not doing over 120 when some cop pulled me over gave me ANOTHER ticket, notice my bulb was out and gave me a FIX-IT ticket! Why do the cops keep picking on my orange car? Anybody know a good traffic lawyer?

We never do find out.

Lambo Owners

Bulbs? Do I need them to hit 220?

Model Ts

Black will never go out of style ... oh wait ... what's halogen?

Z06 Owners

Lights, I dont need no stinking lights. I out drive my lights.

Carrera GT owners

What? $500 to change a freakin bulb?

MINIs (all in good humour) ...

I need to mod my car. I got Bilstein coilovers corner balanced, H-comp sways front and rear, Brembo BBK, Alta CAI, Miltek Headers, Borla Race Catback, Ported & Polished head, 19% pulley, 4% lightened crank, Spec 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel, DFIC intercooler, 9 mm Kingsborne Plug wires, Screaming Demon coil pack, ceramic brake pads, ss brake lines, H-Sport Camber plates, Alta lower and upper links, SSR lightweight wheels, Goodyear F1 Eagles, Carbon Fiber wing, SS Kit, Whalen shift ****, digital volt gauge, digital exhaust temp gauge, halon FE, Iridium Denso plugs, front and rear strut braces but can't see squat at night. A bulb blew out. Which one should I buy?

1 post just throwing IB4TL, just for kicks
1 post saying JCW cars are CRAP and if you didn't buy one, the bulb wouldn't have blown out.

And the poor guy who asked the question just goes to Walmart and picks up a H3 for $5.

 

I thought our bulbs were H7's? well, driving lights are H3's...

 

IB4TL

 

I know for a fact that Daniel Stern would have a LOT more to add to that list.

 

Fiats... I've changed a lot of bulbs in mine! Just because the car doesnt' run doesn't mean you can't use the headlights to light up the driveway!

Mustang owners: A bunch to argue that even though it underperforms the Camero, it's still in production! And one to buy and change the bulb.

And for the Mini owners, you forgot all the posts saying they haven't gotten the bulbs yet!
