hello again,
the g.m. way is safer,this way requires a little feeling around which leads to touching a hot bulb,or maybe the bucket(light)malfunctions and closes while your arm is down the gap.but i was on my way to the track,had to have it working,might not pass inspection.your right ,it does save alot of time,especially if your car is slammed like mine.i can barely stick half of my foot under the rocker panels.i have to drive up on a series of 2 by 4s just to get the jack under the car,and thats how i like it,he,he.when it burns out again i will do it the same way.later,Todd.
