    Default Floppy headlight...

    My car has one floppy light and I've diagnosed it as a bad bushing in the retractor arm. Before I head over to Town North today/tomorrow, I thought I'd check and see if any of you light-swappers had a spare arm/bushing lying around the garage in a box somewhere. I'd take a pair (2) since it follows that once you fix one of anything that comes in pairs, the other one fails within 5-7 days just to spite you.

    Anyone...?

    Let us know how many they have in stock and how much they are. I'm sure I'm not the only other person that could use one.

    Town North has none in stock, but they're about $17 each. Looking online, Rosenthal Mazda has them for $12.95, but you have to pay shipping.

    Yes, but how many of them have content that people want to see?
