    Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Maybe AutoZone or Best Buy sells LED's that are designed for things like these.

    In my boss's '05 Honda Element, the PRNDL on the gear selector is burned out!

    To tear my dash apart, this A/C console must be taken out first. I can pry it out with a flathead or something.

    I'll take it to one of my bros nerd friends. If they can solve a Rubik's cube in 1 minute, they can replace the lights within a couple of hours.

    @El Duderino, you still got more pictures of your Chow? My mom is interested in buying a pup.

    Spotted this beauty at a private truck yard. I might go tomorrow, so I can take more detailed pictures, and possibly drive around the yard.

    Be careful...

    Taking pictures of vehicles in areas like that has been the cause of most of my problems! Do you have permission to go in?

    Obviously I'm not inside, you can see some fence. Weekday mornings, this business is open. I'll just talk to whoever is in charge.

    I didn't go inside fenced areas either...

    Didn't stop people from going batshit crazy! Security guards are the absolute worst!

    This yard is on the side of the road. I pulled into the shoulder lane, and got off. No laws broken.

    I'm not saying you broke any laws. I'm on your side here. I'm saying I've tried to take pictures of private and/or fenced-in areas from public areas, and people have lost their shit with me. One time, a guy tried to reach through the open window of my Tacoma and grab my $700 camera because he caught me taking pictures of his GMC Sonoma in the parking lot of the bank...

    Luckily my "psycho senses" were tingling and I kept the Tacoma in drive and my foot near the gas!

    The GMC Sonoma in question had California plates, so he wasn't even a PA local...

    @El Duderino

    Nah, he was a military guy. I bank at Navy Federal Credit Union (my dad is ex-Navy) and he was at the same bank. His truck also had a Department of Defense sticker on the windshield (those haven't been used since probably 2012 and this incident happened in 2016, so you know the guy's been in the service for a while), and there is a military base within walking distance of the bank...

    I think he was a veteran with PTSD, and for that I cut him some slack, but I believe that the "Castle Law" applies to truck cabs as well as homes. As soon as he ran at me, I buried the accelerator...
