Thanks for the tip.


More chicken marinated in beer tonight. This time, I steamed it.

 

I don't know about other years, but swapping out the bulbs in our 2015 is a major PITA. If you are a contortionist, you can peel back the wheel well liner and snake your hand up behind the headlight assembly, but I could not get my hand in there. The other option is removing the assembly entirely, which involves a dozen screws and a few pieces of trim. No fun.

 

Thanks for the YouTube videos. I'll try it tomorrow.

It's not hard. You can finally use that Stanley tool set. You may need a body rivet tool for that fake plastic screw. You may have to buy a new fake plastic screw. Dealer should have 1 for around $20.



When you get the super expensive light bulbs, they usually come in pairs; you may want to do both sides.


From my memory, the halogen lamps get real hot. I had to change the connector because it melted. When you pull the bulb off, look inside the connector. A new bulb won't work if the connector is fried. Use dielectric grease in there. The mechanic next door might give you a dab. You don't want to buy a jar.


I haven't changed a lightbulb since installing LED. BUT that's another adventure that you don't want to have right now. If you lived around here, I would just give you lightbulbs that I already have, and install them for you. But Fresno is too far to be a good neighbor. ******""

This is why I don't go to McDonald's often. Look at the prices.

 

hello

on a 2019 super duty , the whole front grill comes out , then 5 bolts for the huge sealed light box , not sure who planned for the light box to pull out but I’m thinking the truck was built around it, once it’s out just remember the angles and pitches that it took to get it out , Totally different on the other side too so angling and pitching and twisting is mostly required, still wished I put LEDs in

 

Yay! I finally get to use my Stanley tool set for something other than a boat anchor in the back seat of my truck! I will check Amazon for the headlight bulb. The cheapest one that O'Reilly has is $32. I need a CR2032 battery for my digital scale, and was going to buy one at Walmart yesterday, but at this Walmart the batteries are behind the customer service desk and the line to get money orders was too long. So, now I can order two small items from Amazon instead of just one. LOL.

I haven't been to Mc Donalds in a long time. My favorite fish sandwich is there, but I am not paying $6 for it. The other day I had a craving for the Lumberjack Slam at Denny's, so I checked their website and found out they charge $16.47 for it. I decided I didn't want it that bad.
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday at the VA hospital. It was just my regular six-month checkup. Since I have CLL (Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia) they want to see me every six months. After looking at the results of the blood draw and urine sample the doctor says everything looks fine. I told her I feel fine with none of the symptoms of the disease. They weighed me while I was there, and I weighed 310 pounds. Seventeen pounds less than six months ago. My white blood cell count was still high around 29k, but it too has fallen from a high of 33k. According to the doctor my level of cancer is at stage zero the lowest it can be. It has always been stage zero ever since I was diagnosed with it back in 2011, but it is still nice to hear when the doctor says it again.

Amazon has the best prices for this kind of stuff. Sometimes Wal*Mart is okay, if you can't wait for shipping.

 

Be very careful with "direct replacement" LED bulbs; especially in something like headlights. The actual LED has to be placed and oriented to match what the equivalent incandescent filament would be (regardless of that being tungsten or halogen). Otherwise, you end up with massive glare that helps no one.

 

I’ve been hearing pros and cons on the Led head lights , mostly pro because of the brightness and overall clarity , the do have a fan on the back of the ones I was looking at, I didn’t think led got hot for a fan and also not sure if the said fan sticks out from the back to where my batteries and washer fluid res would be in the way , the Con was Led was expensive, I ended up with bright light Halogen and they are brighter than stock but ford didn’t add any side lite from the housing , so sharp mountain corners are dark corners , while everything else is bright.

 

My lights should be here tonight. I bought two Sylvania bulbs for $23.75. The second to last one in your list.

Those are perfect. You don't go out in the woods. You just need to see on the street

 

Jim missed all the Tricr r Treaters but its not to late for Turkeys

 

Strangest place I ever saw a turkey was in Berkeley. Actually, there were several. They were wild. Just strolling up the street. I wanted to grab one. Too many witnesses. They would surely have alerted authority figures if I drew my side arm, shot it in front of a coffee shop full of poets, and field dressed it right there next to a parking meter, with my pocket knife.



I got lucky today. Brother In Law dropped off a bag of dungeness. I don't ask where they came from. They came from The Ocean. I know that it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart, to give me a couple of hundred dollars worth of fresh exotic seafood. I also know that if he gave me a whole bag full of crabs, then he must have even more, and that was just the portion he was giving to me. He doesn't eat enough food at my house, for me to deserve that much.

 

This is why Asian parents make their kids take piano lessons.

Well Amazon delivery drivers did it again. They claim they delivered my package, and they did, just not to my apartment. The photo of the package is by a door that has some sort of PVC vent tube next to it. Mine doesn't. So, my roommate is out now looking for the door where it was delivered to. Maybe it is still there. Maybe the person who has it is honest enough to bring it to me. Time will tell.
