    i keep a spare set of bulbs in the boot. for this exact reason! i want to punch people in the face when i see them driving around with a ehad light out on one side and their fog out on the other! SERIOUSLY are they that fucking stupid they cant change a bulb!... must be, they dont even realise they are out!
