Headlight Headache

For the past week my driver’s side headlight has been non-functional on low-beam. Now, I’ve replaced this myself before, well actually my friend Chris did most of the work, but what I mean is I didn’t take it to a shop just to replace a bulb.

But this time I didn’t feel like being bothered, so I drove down to the auto shop this morning to have them look at it. Of course, they can’t look right away so I have Marcella pick me up so we can run some other errands. Finally the guy gives me a call back and what does he tell me? “It’s working now…seems fine.”

“Of course,” I think to myself. It’ll only NOT work at NIGHT! I mean, why not? Why wouldn’t it work when I take it to the shop?

So tonight I’m going to go out to my car after the sun has set. I’m going to turn on my headlight, and when it doesn’t work I’m going to walk around to the front of my car and I’m going to bang on the headlight once or twice with my fist to see if it will flicker on, and when that doesn’t work I’m going to smash my headlight with my bicycle pump and then take the car to the shop again on Monday and have them check it again.
