    420 pounds of torque! There is one sitting on the lot about a mile from my house. I am acting like I don't know it's there...

    Oh man, this story would’ve been funnier if it was a cop that pulled you over who told you about your defective Toyota bulb!…and then the guys at the service center told you it wasn’t covered under warranty. That would have been really funny, and then…

    …and then junkhead was able to prove the bulb was defective, the dealership was obligated to cover it and everyone in the waiting area stood up and clapped

    A bulb? Aren't you in Canada? Thought you fellas up there used whale oil lamps for signaling. Sure you are not just out of blinker fluid?

    probably had to use more torque than your motor puts out to bust that seal.

    I’m sorry to hear. That’s rough…

    Toyota needs to step up their game. Tail light bulbs never burned out on my 2007 ranger. That thing had 165k miles when I sold it.
