Lights
One indicator or blinker is flashing faster than the other
When
you indicate one way and the blinker flashes quicker than when you
indicate the other way, it means one of the bulbs has blown. An auto
parts store will be able to tell you what sort of bulb you need to
replace it with and your manual should show you how to get at the
indicator bulbs - they're different on every car.
Don't touch the glass when changing headlight bulbs
Most headlight bulbs now are filled with halogen and
have special coatings on the outside of the glass. If you pick the bulb
up by the glass with your fingers, you will leave trace amounts of oil
and grease on the glass. When the bulb is used, that area of the glass
will get hotter than the rest and it will eventually cause the bulb to
crack. When changing headlight bulbs, only hold the metal bulb holder at
the base, or make sure you're wearing rubber surgical / mechanic's
gloves (clean ones) if you're touching the glass.
