TikTok is home to a slew of viral \u2018life hacks\u2019 that help users find easier methods to carry out their daily tasks in creative, and sometimes completely unexpected, ways. While some of these shortcuts are for more general purposes (like curling your hair overnight with socks or cleaning your sheets by \u2018laundry stripping\u2019), this particular creator\u2019s life hack helped her get out of a traffic ticket. TikToker \u2018Presley\u2019 owns a Chevrolet Malibu. Her vehicle has a broken headlight, and apparently, it\u2019s not an easy fix. According to a commenter who owns the same car, mechanics have to actually remove the entire front bumper in order to replace the bulb \u2014 which can rack up quite a charge at the shop. Rather than ponying up the cash for such an expensive procedure, Presley decided on a far less pricey route by purchasing a bunch of stick-and-click lights, which can be purchased on sites like Amazon for a fairly cheap amount. TikToker goes viral for \u2018hack\u2019 to avoid broken headlight To circumvent her broken headlight, Presley stuck the small stick-and-click lights onto the front of her car, which surprisingly provided a dazzlingly luminous display comparable to the other working bulb. To say that commenters were impressed by her ingenuity would be an understatement. \u201cSometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cA light is a light!\u201d another said. \u201cA win is a win,\u201d another chimed in, prompting a reply from Presley: \u201cIt definitely was a win-win, because I don\u2019t have a ticket.\u201d Presley\u2019s video has racked up over 22 million views in just five days as users continue to express their amazement at her hilarious life hack \u2014 although not everyone is a fan. Presley also replied to a commenter who was critical of her way of doing things, pointing out that a replacement bulb is \u201clike four dollars.\u201d \u201cNot that easy!\u201d Presley responded. \u201cWhen you have [an] electrical problem, you could buy [an] over $1000 bulb, if it has electrical problems. [It is what it is and I] did what I had to do!\u201d This is just the latest life hack to go viral on TikTok after one user\u2019s \u2018skin-taping\u2019 anti-aging method caught the attention of Julia Fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikToker\u2019s broken headlight hack goes viral for getting her out of a ticket YouTube: Steve MontesA TikToker is taking the platform by storm after sharing her jaw-dropping \u2018hack\u2019 for dealing with a broken headlight, successfully avoiding a ticket.
