On our way to Easter lunch we stopped at a stoplight. I turned to
continue a conversation with my wife and she screamed. Someone had
appeared at the driver's door.  He looked OK so I rolled down the window.
"Both your brake lights are out and you only have a right tail light."
I said Thank YOU! and he rushed back to his car.

I'd installed high intensity bulbs from Terry Kay last October and
kept all of the original bulbs as spares.  (Sometimes you get lucky...)
We turned off at the next intersection and I replaced the brake, left
running light and left turn signal.

Six months is a pretty short time for a set of bulbs.  And I know I
replaced a running light in December or January.  Tomorrow I'll pick up
a set of spare bulbs and add "check the lights" to my weekly schedule.

On the chance it's not the bulbs, it's the _____, what should I check out?
