Lightbulb life hack

So if you need a light bulb from NAPA Auto Parts, ask them for it at the counter. They’ll come out with a bulb in a generic little box that’s a LOT less expensive than the ones on the pegs out front… And in the case of the weird high color temperature ones like Sylvania Silverstar or the blue coated bulbs, it’ll last longer!

The lamp life isn’t always specified clearly on the package but if you see it there, compare it. The obnoxious blue bulbs usually have half or less of the specified life of the basic ones. On my Subaru where it takes about 30 seconds to change the bulb with no tools needed, this isn’t a huge issue, but if you have one of those hellbeast vehicles where you have to denude it of its whole front bumper to change the bulb……………

Picture unrelated.
