  • Last time I ever use engine degreaser!

    Well yesterday I sprayed some degreaser on my engine for the first time and rinsed it down (followed directions exactly!) When I started the car though, the driver's side headlight wouldn't come on. Am I going to have to replace the headlight ($25 at AutoZone) or do you think there's something else that could have gotten wet?

    maybe it just plain old burned out.

    headlights are sealed against moisture.

      They're supposed to be. I can't tell you the number of headlights I've seen (or had) that have gotten moisture inside them and burned out even though they were supposed to be "sealed".
