I've had only one bite on Craigslist and it most likely is someone trying to scam me, here is the message...no mention of what the item is.
"I've seen your ad. are you the first owner and is it your final price ? I don't check the email for Craig's List , So text me at xxxxxxYYYY@ gmaill..com
I changed her email address BTW.

The top pic is parking lights only with the new bulb intsalled on the passenger side.

So tonight I learned that bulbs like the one pictured can be installed either direction in their socket and it work properly regardless. So I checked my LED bulb and it too can be reversed in the socket and still work correctly. This just blows my little mind.
I paid $200 for an S5 five years and now it's worth $100. That's a 50% residual value to me, which isn't too bad at all after five years. I do wonder what the S9 will be worth after five more years, but even if it's worth nothing a dollar a week isn't much of an expense to me, even being so cheap I squeak when sitting still.
I swapped out the headlight bulbs in my F-150 and my wife's Civic for LED bulbs. What a difference, like night and day! The Civic was a PITA because of the way the housings are built and installed, but the F-150 was easy. Just slid the whole headlight housing out, changed the bulbs and put it back in again. Scraped the heck out of my hands trying to get the Civic done and finally had to get my wife to reach in there and do it, she has much smaller hands. I also gave the Civic lenses a cleaning to get the fog off of them. That, alone, made a major difference. I've still got to change the fog lights, signal and parking lights on the F-150.
All it takes to make an LED bulb "polarity free" is a bridge rectifier on the input side of things.

This is my headlamp bulb, $45 ea. at Walmart. If I have to replace them I will surely consider LEDs
It did not appear to, Tibs. I am going to try it each day for a while to be certain that the one time I tried it was nothing more than, at that time, there were no updates.
This is yet another reason that so long as my fifteen year old flip phone is supported, I will not have a 'smart' anything.

2 weeks ago we got a recored snow fall for the month of May, 2 days ago we broke a heat recored for the month of May! And now this!!
yup - no rhyme or reason 
So I have 9005 Halogen head lamp bulbs and not the HID as my manual indicated. I went to Ford Parts and entered the VIN to find that out
Now to figure how it is both high and low beam with only one filament.
I'm just going to have to pull it and see for myself I guess, it will be the easiest way.

Earlier I asked how can a single filament bulb function as both low and high beam. It's done with a shutter that's operated with a solenoid. My little brain has become overly saturated with knowledge.
