How to replace a tail or brake bulb in your car

This week's wacked-out ToolGirl video romps like a mad dog through the job of fixing a burned out tail light. (If Mr. Bean ever needed a girlfriend, this would be her.)

Now that you've seen how easy it is to change a tail-light, read Mag's tips on the fine art of selecting the correct bulb for your vehicle.

I've always wanted to know how to do this & thought I could do it on my own for lots less $ than what car place charges. Now I feel empowered to do it!!! Doing that light was much easier than some stuff I have to do at work--take a part a pay phone! :)Thanks for great videos--learning new things & having fun & laughs in the process!

I was thinking of some more car topics: replacing a flat tire and going from winter wiper blades to regular season ones. It's almost time to get off my winter/thicker blades and install reg. ones & I'm thinking I should be able to do this myself. Any tips?
PS-before I open up my car's back light chamber to replace a burnt out bulb-I don't remember seeing on the video what is the lightbulb size/wattage needed so maybe that could be added onto the video?
