3 - to say...

me too

What no smart ass remarks from the peanut gallery?

so... what is the best way to change a lightbulb?

Its not a lightbulb dum ass its a lite bulb and you dont change it you replace it read the manuel...........Just play`n

Ya, you should have seen me putting in new shopLAMPS this weekend!

but which is better? 40w or 60w?

Is the lightbulb in a 4,6 or converted v8

And...

1 CW to declare that the light bulb is not OEM.

(Pat Garvey strikes again! <grin>)

should I go with LED's?



(its not concourse correct though)

What happen to check your grounds?

1- to mention "saftey first". always disconnect the battery befor changing a lite boob.

I will have to object as this forum was never originally equipped with light bulbs...

(Said in completely serious Pat Garvey voice)

if'n it's in cali or the pnw you'd have to have a bbq soo....

1 guy "replacing the lamp"
2 guys running the bbq
4 guys drinkin' beers watching the 2 guys bbq and remarking on the sausages or meat patties.
5 guys watching the 1 guy replacing the lamp give'n him hell for ; being slow about it, doin' it wrong, not knowin' what he's doin', useing sea tools insted of metric, and more to add nauseum.
3 guys guys that cut up the parts car that the lamp came from [cause were all cheap bastards that use perfectly good used parts before we'll buy new ones.]

For the aircooled VW lovers out there

1 to ask if it is a 6V, 12V, or 6V converted to 12V.

I've been to a few of those.....

4 to talk about modifying the light bulb to make it better/faster/more fun.

1 to ask "is that a stock light bulb or the racing version"

1 Jake Raby to argue about how he as done all the testing and has the ultimate light bulb kit and if you do it without his kit you must be an idiot.

7 to argue over Jake raby's input as to how he has the ultimate light bulb.

7 to argue over the cost of Jake's light bulb kit and the cost of light bulb kits in general.

4 to praise jake and talk about his kit even though they have never had one and are to cheap to buy one.

What if the lightbulb does't want to change?

Someone would be whining about George telling us he could sell us the lightbulbs...

or that jake builds a better bulb than any other

Is this yet another lightbulb thread??

Four or six?
What size tires will fit?

Rich

i realized kart beat me to the Raby joke

It's LAMP.....

and 2 arguing about whether the 2.0l 6 bulb or the 2.0l 4 bulb is better.

Kart54

1- to claim to be the chief enthusiast of lightbulbs

Wait just a GD minute! I represent that!

Oh, and have you made microfiber gloves to keep fingerprints from the bulb(s). You should think about it, particularly if you have an allergy to latex. And vinyl gloves are almost all powder coated!

It's not going to work... and we'll all still be in the dark.

And 12 people to tell you that you should only buy the whole 40 watt package from Jake, 8 people to slander Jake and 120 get pissed off that they slandered Jake.

One redneck 914 ratrodder to say....

If you don't like my favorite web site then you can...

Kiss me where the good Lord split me...

You all forgot the most obvious one:

The assembly of the light bulb unit is the reverse of disassembly.

62 post whores adding content free blurbs to increase their post count.

John (newbie post whore)

But is yellow brighter?

No, but don't forget its FASTER!!!!

One to reveal that the switch was faulty all along.

23 posts of ttt to bump up the thread.

you cant turbo charge a lightbulb

The lamp is what the bulb goes into

Looks like I forgot one:

-3 to ask if Restroration Design is still in business

6 more to say light bulbs are more expensive at AA. (but they are NOS)

And don't forget the Greek chorus of whiners whining about the people who are bitching about the poor guy screwing the bulb.

Then, after a committee determines that the lightbulb was burned out before someone dropped it and stepped on it shattering it into a million peices we need someone in Florida with MAD SKILLS to build some wooden contraption and repair and rebuild the lightbulb so that it can be used again!

How many 914 World Members does it take to change a lightbulb...

None, you let the Corvette guy work in the dark

Corvette guys do all their best work in the dark.

NEW Z06 Corvettes KICK ASS even in the dark
