My friend informed me that my passenger-side brake light was broken some time ago. (I travel in a Toyota Corolla from 2003.) This should be a straightforward DIY project, right?
So I went to Kragen Auto Parts and bought a set of stop light bulbs. (Price: about $6) The employee told me he couldn’t help me because individuals had been suing them for mistakes they had made when I inquired how to alter it. (Harsh.)
Stop Brake Shops is the next stop. Thankfully, one of the mechanics was kind enough to replace it for me and demonstrate how to do so. Did I need any equipment? Nope.
