yeah there's really no alternative unfortunately. Open up the new one and smear everything with di-electric grease, and fill the sealing groove of the case with RTV or more dielectric grease

And Im still gonna make a second switch for justincase times cuz like i said it only bothers the inspection guy i got offroad lights on a toggle in the back
Wait. Your reverse lights worked or they didn't work? Earlier you said "I don't think they ever worked" and now you're saying that they did work. See how that can be confusing when we're trying to help you figure this out?

Yeah. Except this may happen:
From a teacher -- short and to the point
In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.
For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:
"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
Is everybody clear on that?
