Apparently, people dont wanna take time to understand "bulow bulb" as "blown bulb". They'd rather ask.

What if.....in that place, it reads, "will give bulow job"? I am sure, in that instance, people are very good at understading and already dropped their pants.

 

LOL I looked it up 'cuz it looked familiar, but I didn't know what it meant, and got a reference to "Claus von Bulow", who was German, so I figured it might have been a German word.

I actually think it makes a great name for the light.

we can email it to mr. webster and add as a new word in dictionary.

bulow, pronounced as 'be-low
meaning - blown out bulb of Vorpal's car which doesn't exist.

 

It's pronounced "boo-low" for blow. It's a multi-syllable redneck pronounciation of a one-syllable word.

Like:

shee-eeee-eeet = a three-syllable pronounciation of ****.

day-hem = a two-syllable pronounciation of damn

kay-rap = a two-syllable pronounciation of crap

o-ral = a two-syllable pronounciation of oil

 

that reminds me of my favorite Roy D. Mercer and Larry the cable guy.

 

Update,
I finaly found the cause of the "bulow" indicator light.

The right rear taillight bulb carrier has a loose metal strip in it. This is the strip that serves as the socket & ground conductor.
It was loose in such a way that most of the time the bulbs would be lit, but sometimes not.

Snapped the carrier back into place, put the bulbs back in, and no more light -- until it comes loose again I suppose.
