Five auto parts you should buy online

Here are five parts that the experts at AutoPartsWarehouse.com say make the most sense to buy online:

2. Lights

The headlights of the Acura NSX concept car were on display at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Most auto-parts stores don't carry model specific light assemblies.

Light assemblies are another great online purchase, with a wide selection of make and model- specific replacement headlights, taillights, fog lights, corner lights, turn signal lights, and backup lights to keep you driving safely (and legally). Just like mirrors, light assemblies can be expensive and most auto-parts stores do not carry model-specific lights in stock. So if the part you need is make and model specific (versus a universal part), and you want to get the best price, shop online! Chances are it is far more immediately available from an Internet retailer, saving the hassle of a round of trips/phone calls to auto-parts stores.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
