Used one of those cheap ass polishing kits from Harbor Freight on my one good headlight. Turned out pretty well. IDK what happened to my other headlight but there's no hope for it.

You're gonna facepalm, but the passenger side. I don't know when but it looks like someone sprayed paint on the headlight and tried to wipe it off. Or some other odd sorcery. Oh on the plus side I should be getting my resistors Saturday night and getting things finalized Sunday. I'd really like to test them for a while to make sure they don't burn out. The ones I tested without resistors lasted... 5 seconds tops? They blew right away.

I would say I just need a lens, but I'm unsure if I could ever get the headlight apart again. I used some really strong sealant. I'm thinking of just browsing the junkyard for a replacement headlight.

Some ******* in a Toyota was taking all the time in the world going 40 on the freeway I wasn't even tailgating. I merge to the center lane then as I'm about to start passing the car the stupid person turns on the blinker and starts moving to my lane even after I brake and honk the crap out of my car they didn't even move still merged into the lane. I dropped down to 3rd and stepped on it and took of, got me so freaking pissed off
