"It all started when a laptop was seized from a janitor at the National Solar Observatory."

After sitting for a week the magic pixies in my truck were a bit lethargic, dancing around at 12.53 volts. Not terrible, it would certainly start at that voltage but not ideal either. So I flipped switch connecting the solar panel to the starting battery, a loud clunk under the hood occurred and now I have have those magic pixies dancing around at 13.7 volts. This was when I turn the key in a bit those magic pixies will be at their maximum happiness level.

Replaced both low beams in my truck, even though only had failed. That’s what the General suggested. Pulling the air box to get the passenger side was really easy. Not difficult on the driver side although pulling the accessory battery to get the driver side one was a bit heavy to lift. While I pulled the air box to get to the blown one on the passenger side I replaced the the air filter. The air filter was dirty as heck, I guess it’s been a few years since I’ve replaced that.
Technically it’s called a “combination” H11 bulb, even though it’s only a low beam, with one filament as it’s driven at a lower voltage during the daytime to serve as daytime running lights. Kind of a clever idea – under running a bulb can serve that secondary purpose of daytime running lights while avoiding having a whole second light bulb assembly.
