My first DIY

I crashed my car's rear tail light into an iron beam while in Canada. I thought it was going to be a $300-$400 fix, including parts and labor. But the aftermarket price of the replacement tail light was only $75 on Amazon. So I ordered it.

I finally received the "Hyundai Sonata 2011 Driver Side Tail Light" from Amazon this evening. I was expecting a "how-to" guide along with the pack. Unfortunately there wasn't any and I had no intentions of going to a garage and paying $50-$100 for labor. So probably for the first time ever, I decided to do something related to "fixing an automobile" by myself. I took all the spanners and screw drivers I had and got started. I was very excited and nervous. By trail and error, I was able to successfully replace the tail light. Checked the brake lights and they worked perfectly. Marvelous!!

I'm proud and satisfied! ;)
