I finally got the passenger side bulb in tonight. Decided to go out
about 10:00 and take another crack at it. After much grunting, the
thing finally let go.

Good thing I had my Mechanix gloves on, else I'd have ripped a nice hole
in my left thumb. Ed, I don't know how you did it barehanded.

Quick first impressions: much whiter than stock, much improved
visibility. Anyone know if GE makes a 893 HO as well? I only saw 893
(regular) on the rack at Wal-Mart, and they were gone.
