[QUOTE=Quicksilver;5290170]Uhhh, could we have this thread moved to the Off Topic Forum?

1 to tell the poster that he posted his thread in the wrong place. ;)

Which he even did, this time.

Love it! See you May 8th?

Cheers,

We will see. My dance card is strange right now.

And one to actually have a stab at the original question......

I make it 282 Pelicans to change a lightbulb......

And counting. :D

Mike.

Actually, they are "lamps"....or not...but that's a whole 'nuther topic...oops, a hijack! :( Rats, just noticed that this has been mentioned already!! Flames on the way! :eek:

Show me your best light bulb... err, lamp photo.

Never buy a new light-bulb (lamp, whatever) without getting a PPI!

Best bulb photo (not a lamp), light fixture in Mazatlan....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1271205057.jpg

lol...
in the context of this thread.... that picture,, and your words are priceless ! ! !

Is that light bulb from Stuttgart or Wolfsburg? You can look for the bulb number under the little tab, and if it contains a PFFT it's neither...................

Last set of H4's I bought were tough to install, are they made in China now?

:p

You'd better get one of those bulbs while you can, because pretty soon the Germans will figure out that the ones in Germany are all burning out, so the prices here will start to escalate out of control as these old working bulbs get shipped back to the Vaterland!

some more:
3 to question the weight savings of the new light bulb
5 to claim that the new bulbs are dangerous because the bases are not forged
2 to freak out becuase the bulbs aren't made in Germany
2 to freak out because the bulbs aren't made in the USA
1 to post photos of politician X whom they dislike, then claim that said polititian eats babies and wants to take your light bulbs away, after which the thread is locked by a moderator

Does the light bulb need to be rebuilt?

The original post was one of the most amusing postings in quite some time - thanks Harry.

There was, however, two important items which should be added:

1 troll to post photos of "their" custom 912/911 with extra "bling" lights, and all the lightbulbs in a vile color
47 to post messages satirizing and/or flaming the troll

Just one? You're getting off light... :rolleyes:

So it takes 180 Pelicans! (you forgot to add the numbers up)

:)

Can somebody get Grady to write a Tech Article on changing light bulbs? That might help solve this problem.
