Only need 40 more members to correct other spelling errors....

That's me. The grammar can get pretty terrible.

It only takes one if it's not a real light bulb NARLB (it's a light emitting diode LED).

That's OK since it's not going into a real Porsche (NARP).

No one mentioned the torque settings for the light bulb and why didn’t you buy the Haynes manual in the first place instead of asking dumb questions on this site? The other thread reminded me that most of us are old farts and already have the manuals, because there was no internet to ask dumb questions back then.
