All of mine are working, i can tell by pulling up behind people and i usually pay enough attention to the wall of the garage when i pull out that i can tell if one side is fainter.

Unfortunately, my left blinker is not blinking, but the light works fine. :confused:

I only check my vette once a year before I get it inspected. But then again, I don’t drive it that much. Haven’t had a bunt out bulb yet.

I check out my daily drivers more often, but then again, they sit outside and have to drive through rain, snow, and salt. Burnt out bulbs and corroded sockets all the time. Salt on roads = :mad :cuss

Well I have recently learned that when my center dash console backlights are out that it means the 'TAIL' fuse has blown...

Thanks. I check my lights when I change oil. Seems right to do a Mini-inspection when I change the oil. Of course, I can sense when something isn't right w/my Vette, instinctively.... I swear to God, I can "feel" a problem, before it becomes one. :)

"" Actually something that I'd thought of that you just reminded me of. Have you guys noticed so some high dollar imports like BMW's and a lot of Honda's too are putting the huge red triangle for the hazzard lights right there dead center of the dash, prominantly displayed. It's like they're expecting you to need to use it :lol: ""

Hazzard lights ? we have them ? :confused: :confused: :chevy

At least once a week, but damdest thing this morning, while sitting at a stoplight behind a black pickup truck, my right fog light simply went out! I was staring at it thinking how cool it looked and poof! I also noticed that I have lost the first light in the Bose display this morning! Hmmm.... that time change really has messed her up! :lol:
