I just took the best shower of my entire life just a few minutes ago... Today's mod party took all the energy I had and more.

Word of advice to anyone who is thinking about doing this themselves.

Pay someone to do it professionally. A professional job will be ~$200-300. This is not worth your headache or potentially damaging/destroying your headlights

It's a huge gigantic pain in the ***. You have no idea. Even if you have experience, there are no guarantees when ripping apart your headlights (which are not meant to be ripped apart).

I did learn a lot so even if I end up spending another $500 getting **** straight (which is entirely possible), I now know how to remove my front bumper and put it back on which allows me to change light bulbs, clean air filters etc.

If you're wondering what the reason behind all these comments are then this should explain it all

You did a good job today dude.

Hey left you the remainder of those Modelo beers since you seem to like them although I think I left them on your window sill while I was dumping the ice from the cooler.

At least Florida State seems to have finally woken up.
