I have successfully aquired new bulbs for my headlights, after realising one of them was out last night. If I can now motivate myself to actually install them this may be my car's shortest cyclops period yet. Usually I am terrible at getting myself organsed to actually buy the bulbs.

As a bonus Supercheap Auto is next to NQR, so I have also replenished my supplies of cheese, butter and fish. Also a couple of bonus meat pies.

A gold star to you for first class adulting! โœจ๏ธ

Many thanks. I have actually installed the bulbs as well now, I am very proud of myself.

No, Ringwood. A smaller store, but convenient location.

Ah. Supercheap and NQR must be friends. The NQR in Sunbury is right next to a Supercheap and another auto parts store too

In Ringwood they hang out with a Vinnie's op shop, so its the ideal cheapskate shopping place.

Interesting. The one in Deer Park is right next to a salvos. Deer park is a nice store too, only opened last year

Edit: and it's right next to a CDS machine too
