What’s Wrong with my Trunk Light?
Hi again, my fellow auto fanatics. Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to visit with us and see what is going on in AUTOMEGA® world. So, with the Autumn Equinox in September this year, we’ve got less than a week to go until the official end of summer. Although I know it probably felt like the end of summer as soon as you finished that last Labor day long weekend. Did you know that the ancient Greeks celebrated this time of year (the Equinox, not Labor day, in case you were wondering) with huge festivals in honor of the upcoming harvests? And while we know there probably aren’t many of you prepping for a harvest, and we don’t actually have a festival, we do have some great end-of-summer savings we’d like to pass on to you.

We recently got the question:
I have a 1997 Eldorado. I just realized I DO HAVE a trunk light, but the bulb has been removed. When I find the bulb I need, how do you suggest I verify the light is going out when the trunk closes? Having a missing bulb in such a seldom used spot makes me wonder if the previous owner had a problem with it.
That’s a good question! I would suggest getting into the trunk and pulling the lid down as far as you can without locking it. Ideally, station someone outside the car with the keys, just in case you do lock yourself in, they can rescue you (make sure this is someone who really likes you and will actually let you out, should the need arise.) You may be right, the previous owner may have pulled the bulb because it would not shut off, so you better check that out before it kills your battery. I’m just happy you didn’t ask me about your refrigerator light bulb!

Looking to give your car or truck a new fall makeover? Your timing couldn’t be better, because we’ve got literally hundreds of different graphic kits, pinstriping and rear window graphics to choose from. Many of these are recently discounted, and new styles are added regularly.
Now that the weather is cooling off, maybe you’ve been thinking it would be nice to get out after work and do some cycling, get that old heart pumping. Take it from me, you don’t want to risk damage to your car or your bike by just tossing your bike into the trunk. AUTOMEGA® now carries a full line of bike racks. From fold down racks to tire mounted racks, we’ve got you covered.
