Did this on the fly in a walmart parking lot in under 10 minutes thanks to this vid

Best video I’ve seen for this! Thanks!!

[@faryalalam7730]

After watching so many of your videos, I got the inspiration to drive even more.

[@evelyntorres5411]

Loved your description of the tools!

[@mortis1634]

Simple but effective, ty

[@travelsnacks]

You're welcome!

[@weswarren5987]

Thank you thank you, followed you up advice as no other videos showed the front flashing indicates the rears out. I appreciate you!

[@wmcosme5494]

thank you!

Since my husband passed my son takes care of my repairs for me

Great diy video. Also , I noticed the headlight lenses are fogged up . I find Maguires headlight lenses restoration kit perfect for this. It's basically a polishing cream and spray sealant. A few minutes of buffing entire lens (both sides) and spray sealant for clear bright headlights. Also be sure to cover around lens area so excessive sealant spray doesn't damage paint. Walmart has this cheaper than auto parts store.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Way to go Allison!

Watched this in a Walmart parking lot

Oh my godddd haha I also have a Chevy Express I built myself (I watched some of your videos in the process, especially for figuring out how to attach the initial bed structure! so... thanks!) and I was wondering wtf that fast blinker business was. I knew it was something electrical but didn't realize it meant the bulb was out. Makes so much sense haha, as I recently realized my rear driver's side brake light was out! Off to order some parts...

[@travelsnacks]

The first time it happened to me I was like why is this blinking so fast!!! It took awhile to figure it out. And I'm glad my videos have been helpful!!

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Great video and great job

[@mikebrady1767]

I’ve had to do that a few times with American makes. Not so far with any Toyota I have owned, currently I own 3 all of which I bought new. Go figure. Fortunately as you demonstrated, replacing bulbs usually is an easy fix. And if I were not able to replace a bulb right away, I could always ask Uncle Fester to ride in the back facing backwards with a lightbulb in his mouth. Euell Gibbons used to eat lightbulbs when he wasn’t eating Grapenuts cereal boxes. He called them his light snack.

Allison if you will take a can of deep woods off and spray it on your headlights let it stay on there for about 30 seconds then wipe it off it will take all of that oxidation off and make your lights brighter.

[@jeffvox]

Thanks for this!

[@travelsnacks]

Sure thing!

[@susanwoodman7576]

No bloopers? Fyi the LED light bulbs last a LOT longer but you well need to change out your flasher relay do to the lower power usage of them,, but there a lot brighter . I find I do a lot of night driving and changing out to LED headlights in my older chevys was one of the best upgrades I have done ,, I can see better with the LED lights on low than I could with the old school halogens on hi

[@DavidGuns]

You really do not have to change out your flasher relay for LED turn bulbs you can install a load resistor to stop what is called hyper flash or you can buy more expensive bulbs. The load resistor installs easy, many videos on this. Yes LED are much brighter and last longer but don't buy the cheap ones

[@carolinavenzor8502]

@@DavidGuns she is talking about headlights, not blinkers.

[@DavidGuns]

@@carolinavenzor8502 she is talking about both, she first talks about changing the flasher relay and the about how much she drives at night and likes the LED headlights
