Simple car repair

[Tero]

I'll use this topic for stuff I could fix.

Q1
Wife has Honda Pilot. Can I take the bulbs in the high beams and put them in the low beams, on a trip? When a bulb burns out.

Look at them. If they're identical, no problem. If not, be prepared for a burned out bulb or fuze if you try it, minimum.

I once replaced the entire exhaust system in an old Mazda. It involved crawling under the car (no hoist available) and a shitload of swearing. But I was young and flexible then...

I used to work in the Special Services Auto Repair Shop at the base in Sicily. I had a deal with the local who advised sailors on how to fix their Fiats. The first time I met him he was standing in the shop with a engine in his arms. It was out of a Fiat 500. He taught me a lot about gasoline engine repair. I'd only worked on diesels before that.

I don't think they are exchangeable. But I noted we had fog lights we never use, would work in a pinch.

Why not just keep a spare set of bulbs in the car?

They shake and rattle and get dumped on top off. This is the wife car, every nook and cranny is full of items. And the bulbs run 25 dollars each.
