[QUOTE="bitterdaze, post: 1291363, member: 9179"] Last year all the lights in and on my Rabbit died suddenly at a traffic light. Over the next few weeks I pulled everything but my seat and steering wheel out troubleshooting the fault. It was winter, and I got stuck at work a few too many minutes and had to drive home in the dark. Sure enough, I got pulled over, and as the officer walked up to the car he could hardly believe it actually ran on its own. He was also surprised that I did in fact carry full coverage insurance, and that my non-lit tag was current. I explained my wiring mystery, and regret at being caught out after dark. A few minutes later he returned, and informed me that I was being cited for no tag light, and that it carried a fine of $300. I wasn't angry with him at all, but a little bummed out, and thought to myself "man, I don't even have $300 in this whole car!" He stood there for a few seconds watching me looking miserable, then blurted out "Just messin' with ya! But head straight home, and try to get those lights working soon." [/QUOTE]
