Gussie Roberts/TikTokWhen the headlights on her BMW suddenly quit, one Florida driver skipped the repair shop and headed to the dollar store instead.Gussie Roberts showed off her budget fix in a TikTok video: a set of battery-powered dollar store lights attached to the front of her car. "That time my headlights cut out on me, but God made a way," the video's text overlay read.At first, the clip looked perfectly normal, with bright lights shining from the front of the BMW, but a closer look gave away the trick. Roberts hadn't repaired her headlights at all — she had attached switch-activated lights to the car instead."Straight from the dollar store!" she said in the social media video.Roberts appeared amused by how convincing her makeshift setup looked. "Who gonna know, though, who gonna know?" she asked.Gussie Roberts/TikTokThe reveal caught viewers off guard, and some joked that cheap lights like these might explain the glare they've run into on the road."Let me find out I'm out here getting blinded by dollar tree lights," one user wrote in the comment section.Another commenter agreed: "Those dollar tree lights are BRIGHT AS HELLLLLL."Plenty of viewers gave Roberts credit for working around the problem. "Necessity is the mother of all inventions," one wrote.One person admitted to going a different route entirely: "Great idea I just don't leave the house when it gets dark outside to avoid paying over $100 a headlight. lol it's been a good minute since I've had headlights lol.""We should pay you just for posting this," added another, while a third commented, "You guys don't realize how smart this is tho."Gussie Roberts/TikTokSome viewers also wondered whether this was the first time Roberts had to get creative with a repair."What else have you had to rig?" one asked in the comment section.While Roberts kept her BMW on the road for the price of a few dollar store lights, one of the brand's best-known models is headed for retirement.As First for Autos previously reported, BMW ended production of its Z4 roadster with a limited Final Edition and has no direct successor planned.
