      How cold does it get around you? ❄❄@@unclemarksdiyauto

      Typical winter day will be in the -13F to -31F. We will get some -40F days and can get close to the -50F maybe one or two day in the winter. Is that cold enough?

      @@LakesideAutobody It makes it hard for a DIYer to work on my projects in my at home garage since it takes forever to warm the metal on the vehicles up and my cement floor as well. It’s like working on a ice pack from the fridge. Burrrr.

    Hey Mark, great video!
    Just some helpful tips for anyone else taking this on:
    The W5W bulb type is a direct interchange bulb for a 168 or 194 or even a T10 bulb, which are far easier to come by at your local parts counter etc.
    From my experience, I replaced the bulb the first time I had any issues with it with an LED unit and have never looked back. With that in mind, I too found it difficult to actually get purchase on the bulbs and pull them down, so I wrapped some needle nose pliers in a few layers of electrical tape (heatshrink could also work) and that gave me good enough "grip" or traction on the bulbs that I could pull them out with gentle squeeze on the bulb. Also, the 90 degree hook or the rounded "fish hook" tool from a hook & pick set (like they sell at Princess Auto, Amazon, etc) made dealing with that foil reflector much easier, and, infact, I only took it out on the one side, and found that with the wrapped pliers I didnt even need to pull it out on the other side! Cheers!

    We have an 2018 flex, just did ours and it works. A small black plastic piece fell out, not sure where it came from? It kinda looks like a T. Everything else works great. Thanks
