"Are my headlights off?" Bonk not-so-casually inquired. "Uh, looks like it," I assessed, with a half-rolled "fatty" burrito in my hands. "Jesus!" Bonk whined as he fumbled with every knob and lever within reach. We were on I-5 about fifteen minutes south of Tacoma, not very far along our way to Mount Saint Helens at around 9 pm. Finally he settled on just keeping the flashers on, as the brights wouldn't stay on either. We went like that for another five minutes before finding an exit. At a gas station we messed around under the hood by headlamp. The engineers Bonk and Nikita debated which fuse was to blame, and eventually tried enough combinations to decide that the bulbs themselves must be this issue. Maybe one had already been out, or maybe they both blew at once due to their identical wear. At least the brights would stay on now, so we took the backroads to an AutoZone, pissing off every passerby on our way. Swapping both bulbs did the trick, so we hit the road again.
