i've been to autozone twice in the last couple weeks. and on both occasions, i'd gone looking for a replacement turn signal bulb for the truck that moms occasionally lets me use. on the first visit, after viewing a yt tutorial for changing the headlight of the car rather than its turn signal, i'd mistakenly bought a replacement headlight bulb.
so, after changing the bulb and seeing the turn signal light still flashing rapidly, i returned to the store with the replacement headlight bulb. and there, a worker diagnosed the mistake of buying the incorrect replacement bulb by looking up the truck make and model on the store computer, and then suggested for me to check the warning light to see if the electric wiring might be causing the issue. and after seeing the hazard lights flash at a regular tempo, i returned into the store, told the worker the hazard lights were still working well, and purchased the replacement turn signal light the worker recommended, based on what he saw on the computer for the year, make, and model i'd told him for the truck. however, of course i'd mistakenly said an incorrect model name, and thus bought the wrong bulbs. therefore, if anyone is looking for toyota tacoma turn signal lights, you can buy one off me for a discounted price of two dollars each.
nonetheless, moms already had the correct turn signal replacement lights at her house, so i was not forced to return for a third visit. and after finding the right yt video for changing the turn signal bulb, rather than the headlight bulb, on the correct make and
model within the appropriate time frame for the part, the replacement process was rather simple, requiring only a medium size philips screwdriver in addition to the replacement bulb.
lastly, in conclusion, i want to reiterate the lessons from recent experiences at the auto parts store of needing to check you have
the right name for the part which you are looking, with a turn signal light and headlight specifically being distinct parts, and also that you have the correct year, make, and model of the vehicle. however, while two consecutive errors in the process of finding the correct part for the turn signal replacement is suggestive of failed shopping experiences, i'd like to emphasize that the store carried a large variety of related parts, and the worker on each occasion, especially the second, was knowledgeable and personable in helping me find the part for which i was looking. read more
