See.....

Early this morning I headed to the store for when they opened so I could get the last few things I needed that was hopefully restocked overnight, crazy people clearing off the shelves again !!! Well as I walked up before the doors opened a guy tapped my shoulder and said my headlight was out so sure enough I snagged one on the way home.
Went the wheel well route to replace it and it put up a good fight to get it aligned and secured, not to mention its 20 degrees out, but I finally got it with a few creative words !!!!!!!

Now I can illuminate the road again, I thought it looked odd earlier. Hopefully replace these old fogged up with new crystal clears this spring with some bright LEDs.

Time to start the Deer Chili

Polishing them up will be a big improvement, will last about a year with the right sealer, and is a lot easier than the bumper cover removal required for new headlights. Still, new ones is the best answer. Here are a couple options popular in the community.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, Ive sanded, polished and cleared them a couple times the past 2 years BUT they are so weather cracked ( possibly all the way through ) as you cant just sand them out. I thought trying sanding then torch them to basically melt the surface back clear... just too much effort trying so new are in the plans for spring. The fog lights do a great job helping since those are brand new.

I like the looks of the black background ones. Got them on the Wish List for when mine get too bad for polishing, so far I am OK to keep them coated Hard to do when it gets cold outside. anything below 40 degrees is too cold for my bones. right now we are hovering aroud 5 at night and 15-28 during the days, waiting for the negative numbers....
