In Virginia, everyone is required to get their automobile inspected annually. Last year, I was charged $35 for windshield wipers. This year I was ready...new tires (tread was thin) and after 3 stops I found a new set of windshield wipers that fit.

They told me the bulb above the front driver's side tire was out. I was pissed because I didn't check all the lights!!! Well, it wasn't the bulb but the connection. It was all cruddy and resulted in incomplete contact with the bulb. I haven't ever messed with the light and wonder how it got so cruddy.

Oh well, they ordered the part (at Brown's Isuzu--the most expensive dealer in the Nation but it's right across the street from work) and it'll probably be another $50 or so.

Just wanted to vent to someone who understands.
