Given the impending storms I decided I needed to get Blinker handled today, otherwise I’d either be stuck at home with Blinker in the garage all weekend or risk rain water in the light causing electrical damage. It turns out she lost a fog light too – oops! But that was the only other damage. The shop had the headlights in stock and was able to hook me up with a used fog light that they only charged me the labor to install (score!). It cost about half of what my deducible would have cost, so that’s positive.
Shiny!
But quite a bit more shiny than the passenger’s side light. The guy at the shop recommended replacing the passenger’s side eventually too because of the fogging, but it wasn’t bad enough to be an inspection issue yet.
Phew, I am glad I was able to take care of this within 24 hours. No more worries.
