    I picked up the same ones as stock too. A lot of people do blue thinking it's a nice color, but blue light in the dark can stress your eyes. So they say anyway

    I always have my dash dimmer knob turned all the way up, and I use my lights a lot on the freeway for safety reasons which is probably why I had a bulb go out with only 80k miles on it. So I imagine the rest are going to follow suit soon

    should last longer then I bet. I've started turning the dimmer all the way off now when I use my lights during the day to avoid wearing the bulbs out. Just never occurred to me before.

    Cold weather always kills bulbs fast around here. Last winter we had some days in the single digits, it was around then that one of my dash bulbs popped.

    Google says it takes 250 lbs to crush one if the can is perfectly centered on the weight, less if its off center. So 370 is way overkill lol.

    Im already going full send on the program and Im still months away from having a working machine. Imagining everything working the way I want in my head can get confusing lol. IMG_20190925_185923250_HDR.jpg

    T Mobile -

    Nothing in writing, since I only went in to ask questions but apparently 1 line, unlimited, is $55/mo.

    Add a 2nd line, and it's $75/mo.

    Samsung phones are BOGO; no incentive on an iPhone.

    Verizon -

    Printed quote, 2 lines, unlimited with 25gb 'prioritized' is $115 before the automatic payment discount/enrollment.

    Samsung note phones are BOGO; $300 off the new iPhone Pro with trade in of my S6 Active. I only considered this because I would keep my girl's S9 and she would get the new iPhone, and paying $810 for the new phone.

    Verizon will also send me a gift card for transferring over 2 numbers to them (both mine and hers) at $200 per line so $400 total.

    T Mobile is cheaper overall, whereas Verizon will provide incentives but in the long run, will cost more for their service.

    Choices...

    I should go now and talk to them; I was left with a bad experience back in 2006.

    It involved me making the manager cry, as well as customers speaking out for me when I was disappointed to find out I couldn't upgrade my phone.

    I could give you the story if you're bored lol.

    I would be using my service connection/disability for my discount on either service mentioned above.

    But yes, they sucked when I had them during the Cingular/AT&T Roll Over days.
