A light bulb is an electrical item used in crafting.
Usage
Light bulbs are primarily used as a source of light, either in a lamp, wall-mounted light or vehicle headlights and taillights. If a light bulb is missing from any of these objects, no light will be displayed.
To add a light bulb to a vehicle, the player must have a screwdriver in their main inventory.

A light bulb can be removed from any light or vehicle, requiring a screwdriver only when removed from a vehicle.
