2. Dig around tool box for a #10 socket... Nail chin on Lawn mower, Grab another beer, Pop trunk remove Tail light, Nail head on trunk lid while trying not to spill the Beer.... remove lens, Repeat for other side, After you crack another beer...

3. Pry apart Lens, with crow bar.... Crack another Beer.

4. Silicone lens, Have another beer while doing the other side, then Reattach front to back

5. red & amber bulbs, Oh damn I forgot them.... Hmmm I can't drive to get them.... Graba beer and think about this.... Light a smoke... think...... Grab the Red spray paint and paint the bulbs, Paint the others Amber.. Have 5 more beer while the paint dries.. put lights back on the car.... Search for the #10... While yelling at the dog.

6 Have a seat on the cooler, Drink the rest of your beer...
