Your DIY jobs end up like mine it seems. LOL
I try to fix what I can, when I can. Otherwise I leave it to the experts with the physical ability to do it.

Hahaha yeah I'm a little rusty :D. I've not changed fog lights before, or daytime bulbs whatever you want to call them. It wasn't a terrible job, but going from underneath sucks lol
I hate working on newer cars these days. Everything is packed in so tight. Besides basic stuff like changing bulbs, windshiled wipers, etc. I don't try anything else anymore on cars.
Yeah the newer cars are annoying. I was pleasantly surprised with this car though, the engine o2 sensor is wide open! That means, me just saying that, that it will break next week hahaha but it wasn't buried in an asshole position like some of the stuff is.
So this was a fog lamp right?
The lights that are auxiliary, and towards the bottom of the front-end?
Otherwise you usually change lights through the top of the car.
I've found that never touching the lamp with your fingers is a good idea too because when I used to change them I'd notice the ones I changed would burn out faster.
Probably because of the oil from hand causing the glass to heat more/higher, but I could be wrong idk.
Yeah it was daytime lamps but I would also call them fog lamps.
I learned the hand thing the hard way! I didn't have a glove with me so I used my shirt and didn't touch the glass. Hopefully it minimized the chance of oils on it!
My parents used to have this big fancy TV over a decade(or two) ago that had like a pyramid shape in the back.
It was DLP Digital Light Projection design that was the next big thing for like 2 years.
The bulbs would burn out and my mother replaced them, and then they'd keep burning out.
That was how I realized touching the bulbs in just about anything will be a prolbme.
Oh man yeah that makes sense! I do remember those DLP TV's, as that was roughly the time I was looking for a TV.
Do you skate, or still skate?
I may have asked you this before, but I can't recall.
I used to for about 14 years! Eventually I slowed down and then had a kid and a career so I had to stop so I didn’t get hurt and cause financial issues.
I still try to from time to time.
It's not easy when you stop, and yeah there's definite risk of injury.
I was never big on slides or grinds, but I did like clearing stairs and gaps.
I couldn't imagine ollie'ing a 6 set now, but I do TRY to clear some minor gaps still.
I def try not to get hurt, but I like the exercise you get from skating. I think it's a unique way to work the back muscles.
Speaking of which,
My cousin a few years back (3 kids, and he's a pastor of a large church) was on vacation in Deep-Creek Lake, and for some reason ended up back on a skateboard. He broke his Pelvis.
He was probably about 40 at the time.
