Re: turn signal working improperly

One of the filaments in the dual filament bulb is burned out. Replace the bulb.

Just because you posted the response, doesn't make it gospel.

Re: turn signal working improperly

Do I have to go take a damn picture of it for you? I just had my front end apart this weekend, plus I have an extra set of bulbs laying around. Go look it up.

Re: turn signal working improperly

Calm down...damn. I was ****ing with you, stop being a douche.


EDIT: I still hold to my other post though...whether its true or not, doesn't make what you post to be the truth. That goes for everybody on here, you know that. Besides, I wouldn't have given you a smartass reply, if you hadn't given me one...I was asking because I honestly didn't remember if they were.

Correct, but just because YOU POSTED IT doesn't make it the truth. If you can't understand the psychological principles of what I'm getting at, then you truly are dumb as shit.

Took for first psych class at the community college eh? Only a dumb shit would turn a burnt out bulb thread into a psychological debate about the truth!

Sheesh...it's the same problem as the original poster. You have a filament burnt out in your tail light. The fast flash is telling you to check the bulb.

Nope, never went to community college. Why are you getting so hostile about me asking a question and then making a joke? I'm feeling some anger in your posts. Did your father neglet you as a child? Did he not hug you enough...or touch you in naughty places?

No, I'm tired of idiots questioning things that I know for a fact.

Well if you weren't wrong about so much stuff you wouldn't be questioned about the stuff you know correctly.

I'll break it down for you how stupid you getting upset at my original post was...

My original question was with regards to my own lack of knowledge, not whether or not what you said was true.

My second post was factual observation...just because you, nor anyone else, posts some information, it is not necessarily true for the sole fact that they posted it. i.e. If someone posts, "The moon is a ball of shit," that does not mean that the moon is, in fact, a ball of shit because they posted it.

My third post was in response to your douchebaggery, to simply tell you that I was kidding with you. The "EDIT" portion was my first attempt to explain the logic behind my second post.

My forth post was my second attempt to explain the logic behind my second post and to tell you that you are completely ****ing retarded if you couldn't, by that point, understand what I was getting at.

My fifth post was just a plain, run-of-the-mill, mockery of your assumption that I took one psych class at a community college.

Which leads us to where we are now. If you have made it though the above and still do not understand what I was originally getting at and that I was joking, then you are beyond help.
