Headlight Mod Event PART DEUX: The headlightening

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.

Clemson had zero defense...marched all over us when you wanted to. Clemson looked good the first half but couldn't keep it up in the second half. We really needed our defense to step it up and make a few stops, our offense couldn't control the whole game with how good the noles defense is. I guess I'm just glad that the game was entertaining for the most part. We shouldn't lose too many spots in the rankings losing to #4 in the nation like that...I hope.

It was a good game, Clemson always plays us good!

blades try brandywineparts.com too. It's like an giant online junkyard they might be able to pull you some lights for cheap. Worth a shot.

Rest assured that if I do swap out a lense, I'm going to have a shop do it

Still not completely sure. The lens got melted on the bottom where it was sitting in the oven. Happened to one of DM's headlights as well. I think mine got worse because it got a little melted the first time so the second session in the oven just made it worse. Definitely want to do cardboard soaked in water next time, works way better than aluminum foil.

Sadly for me, without a new job anytime soon I'd have to DIY this again if I did get another headlight. Might try some wetsanding and headlight restoration like you suggested to see if it makes any difference.

Blades, before you try anything, lets get some research done as to how to fix it, if thats even possible.
