Yeah I'm wondering if I should use this opportunity to black out my boomerangs. Not sure if it would look better on my car or not. Also not sure if it's worth risking the other headlight.

Screw it, I'll just take the safe route and swap the lenses.

No sh*t. I could have told you that without you stealing my damn car for the day.

Uh if you're going to make changes, now would be the time to do it. You're going to have to crack them both anyway to swap lenses right?

No I decided to just not make any changes. Wasn't sure if I wanted to do it or not. As it is, I'd only have to crack open one headlight, swap the lenses, and then re-seal it. Should take much less time since I'd only have to do one headlight and I'm not doing any painting.

Hopefully 3rd times a charm.

Hopefully. The soaking wet cardboard idea worked pretty well. Gonna use that next time instead of the aluminum foil.
