Four to point out that 'they are only original once and changing the bulb will devalue the car'.

Six will respond with 'It's their bulb, let them change it however they want to.'

Three to say they couldn't afford a real bulb but always wanted one so they made a clone bulb.

Five will chime in and say they lost their original bulb during the restoration. They don't have the BS but can they still find a place that will make a reproduction bulb for them.

Two will point out the new bulb is a fake reproduction.

Seven will still order a bulb from Jim's then rant how bad the lady is that answers the phone and how they got the wrong bulb.
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.

You forgot about the 20 that will ask another question about weather or not the problem is really the bulb and not something entirely different.

hey cooter, if your having a problem with a bulb, check all the working bulbs to see if they are drawing current away from the non working bulb. :nana:

maybe if you would rotate the vacuum in the bulbs at a regular interval, the bulbs would last longer

1 to say he already sent the money to the guy that verifies the "correct" date coded lamps but the guys secretary had already handed in her notice and left so he never got the order processed but cashed the check anyway and was then seen busting through the barricades at an auction for "correct lamps" decrying all those who didnt understand about the correctness of the lamps that he usually verified from a small oak panelled office in a small town north of Illinois

1 to start a new thread about Girls with Lightbulbs ( I'm looking at you here Skip )  :icon_smile_big:
