## Part 1
Add DOM event listeners and handlers to toggle the on/off state of three bulbs.
- When a user clicks on the "Stop" button, toggle the [stop bulb's color][stop-color].
- When a user clicks on the "Slow" button, toggle the [slow bulb's color][slow-color].
- When a user clicks on the "Go" button, toggle the [go bulb's color][go-color].
**TIP**: All three bulbs can be on/off independently of one another.

- [MDN - `Element.classList`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/classList)
## Part 2
Add new DOM event listeners and handlers to log the mouse state of each button.
- When a user's mouse enters a button, log `"Entered <textContent> button"` to the console.
- When a user's mouse leaves a button, log `"Left <textContent> button"` to the console.
**TIP:** Each event type will need a separate event listener.
### Resources
- [MDN - `mouseenter`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mouseenter)
- [MDN - `mouseleave`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/mouseleave)
- [MDN - `Event.target`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/target)
## Bonus
Add **one** DOM event listener and **one** handler to log the state of each bulb.
- When a user clicks a button that just turned on, log`"<textContent> bulb on"` to the console.
- When a user clicks a button that just turned off, log`"<textContent> bulb off"` to the console.
**TIP:** A click on only a button should cause a message to be logged to the console.
