Trying to figure out why my backbox in my CV was so dim.
Figured maybe it was just me being used to blinding LEDs...or maybe a dirty backglass. Even maybe a GI string out.

Nah...with only three exceptions, EVERY bulb was blown...
Much better now!

Ya...me too.
I had to list the extreme of this, all lamps burned out, in the Wiki as a possible reason for lack of lamps. I've seen all lamps blown more than once. That's sure a lot.

Those are original factory Silverlights, don't throw those away.

I like that...maybe I should sell them on ebay for a buck each...

Or, better yet, maybe I can see if HEP wants them

I love finding burned out bulbs! Especially since you tend to really notice the difference after you replace them. It's like an unexpected mod
