How many E60.net members does it take to change a "driving" light bulb?
1 to change the bulb and to post that the bulb has been changed
9 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
1 to conduct a poll on whether it?s
1: DRIVING LIGHTBULB
2: FOG LIGHTBULB
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
6 more to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
3 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
1 to flame the spell checkers
7 to caution about the dangers of touching light bulbs
2 Germans to inform the board that the proper term is driving "lamp"
4 Australians to inform the Germans it?s actually called a "torch"
5 know-it-alls who claim they heard instructors at Spartanburg call it a ?driving light bulb? and that must be correct
8 to post that this section is not about light bulbs and for moderators to please move this to OT
12 to defend the posting to this area saying that we all have driving light bulbs so therefore the posting should be relevant
4 to post that Rudy has a video online showing how to change light bulbs
44 to post that light bulbs never went out in past cars that they owned
24 to debate the video?s method of changing light bulbs
3 to ask where they can import 7500K light bulbs
33 ask in shock if that light bulb price is in YEN or something?
7 to post links where one can see examples of different driving light bulbs on other cars
6 to respond that the links only showed light bulbs installed in rice cars
2 to post that one of those cars belonged to Iceman and that Iceman knew light bulbs
1 to post that Iceman has no bulbs
5 to ask if Dinan made light bulbs
2 to say that even if they did, they would not be covered under warranty
11 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
3 to post to that they will no longer post because they cannot handle this light bulb controversy
2 to quote the "Me too's" and say "Me three"
4 to suggest that the poster should have looked to see if there was an FAQ on the board
14 to ask what an "FAQ" is
and 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start the whole thing going again!
Isn't this a great board or what?

I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying!! But you know...the beauty of this board is at least we can all read and write!!
Also, you forget to mention the 20 posters that mentioned they took their car to the dealer to have the bulb (lamp, torch, light) installed, but the dealer had to order the part, so they had to take their car in a second time to have their bulb(lamp, torch, light) installed. However, on the second visit to the dealer, the dealer informed them that there was a new software version available that made the bulbs (lamps, torches, lights) burn brighter and longer. So naturally these members said, "oh yeah, update me baby" only to find out that the update did in fact increase the illumination of the interior bulbs (lamps, torches, lights), but turned off all the exterior lighting, including the headlights, and more importantly the "designed for safety" orange LED "eyebrow" lights. This, of course started a whole new thread.......yada yada yada....
