How often do YOU....
check to make sure all your lights are working?
I typically don't drive my vette very much at night but with my new job and the time change it is going to become common. I just spent a few minutes to make sure that ALL of my lights work. Nothing worse than driving for months with burned out running lights and not knowing it.
If you've never checked your lights it might not hurt to do so, only takes a few minutes. A lot of people are oblivious to the world and before long they don't have ANY lights. Are you oblivious?
This friendly reminder brought to you by the Nathan Plemons, "oh crap I haven't done that in a while, wonder how many people on the forum have done the same" campaign.

Every single day, as a professional driver it's required at my job and much of my work habits follow me home.

I do a walk around about once a month but I always look for the reflection in my rear wing of the third brake light bad obsession I guess :D I hate the way the car looks with a light out

It would be good practice guys, I just tried going somewhere and my passenger light just will not work. It goes about half way up and stops.

:yesnod: I have! I've turned on the emergency lights once, took me about 25 min to figure out how to turn them off :rolleyes: :lol:
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:
