How can you not notice...
« on: 08 November 2015, 20:44:57 »

..when one of your dipped beam bulbs goes? I took wifey's car out before and only got ten yards before I was out of the car checking it. It's not the first time it's happened either.
When I asked her she said she hadn't noticed any difference.  :-\

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

My car recently suffered a blown headlight bulb. A nice yellow warning light on the instrument panel and a four inch by three inch warning on the satnav screen brought the fault to my attention. ;)

I'd be surprised if there is nothing to indicate a bulb failure. :-\
