Man... You can't make this stuff up. Went for an evening drive last night and my headlights were pretty dim. Figured I would toss in some leds. Look up the bulb type (9007) find the appropriate replacements on Amazon, should be a 5 min job.
It was not.
At some point the previous owner got the wrong bulb. Instead of making the rational decision to return it and get the correct one, they decided to drill out enough of the bulb housing to force the wrong one into the headlight.
Complete hack job. The housing was so jacked up I had to file down some edges so that I could get the correct size bulb in.
It's temporary of course, while I will start hunting for replacement headlights
At least it was on the passenger side!
