This is a rant!

After my spending spree this weekend, I have been waiting for the Hoen license plate bulbs, scratch n ding gauge, ECS city lights, replacement 3000K fogs, Sprayed Tails.....

So I got the Hoen's in today and began to install them. Left went in nice and easy. But the right is fucking stripped!! I had my bulb burn out about 3 months ago and had audi fix it for me under warranty. The tech reinstalled the bulb with a screw that he stripped while getting out.

Your telling me that I can pay 40,000 dollars for the car and leave me with a stripped POS screw to deal with the next time I need to take it off!! Now I need to go and get that removal kit, which this would probably be the only time I use it and fix it myself.


Hoen Bulb- 19$
Shipping Hoen bulb- 8$ WTF!!!
Removal tool- 20$
Stupidity- Unforgivable+20$

FUCK![headbang]


I still cant wait to get the right installed, the end product is sweet..

FUCK

The guy who invented the power screwdriver should be hanged. Almost every screw in my house is hopelessly stripped. I did get a great tip on a stripped screw removal tool recently. It is called a Grabit, and it works, not like the other tools which I have tried[wrench].

i thought this post had to do with me haha, sucks for the screw. It has happen to me before...I complained and was like wtf is happening here. Take to a different dealer see if they can give you a new screw or what not.

What does this repair kit entail?

+1 for Grabits...Amazing, but won't help on extracting <3mm screws that are tightened into metal. Stripped in Plastic or Wood=no problem w/ grabit.
