If you have fat fingers like I do it is a PITA changing out those tiny bulbs. I usually end up breaking them with needle nose pliers. I needed to replace the one in my rear window defogger switch and tried this instead . Works like a charm and everybody has one.

I also use that same setup for cleaning out excess hair and ear wax from my ears!
Only a plumber would think of this...thanks Kent! |

That's disgusting. Try a pressure washer next time. Just don't blow out what's left of your ear drums.

That's really cool! I remember breaking a bulb by using needle nose pliers.

Does the headlight knob have those lights? They work on my flasher and fog light knobs but don’t recall seeing the headlight (or cigarette lighter) knobs light up.

That pencil eraser comes in handy while trying to touch the ohm meter test probes on those two tiny little wire leads. |
