I was driving home the other night and noticed that since it was dark outside, I was having low visibility. Clear headlights are a good thing! I was shocked at how cloudy these had become, so I ordered some clear headlights online (https://www.carparts.com/) and was surprised at the ease of the job and how inexpensive this fix was.
Been a while
I know it has been a while since my last post. Winter comes with its own challenges. Here at https://dwits.biz it is my hope to stay with this for the long haul. I am glad for the few folks who continue to read for as long as you care to participate. My sincere thanks to any of you who continue to visit even though it has been a while.
The Work (Clear headlights)
Without further adieu, down to The Work. We had several tasks to complete today. What a nice day to work on the vehicles together and outside. Task number 1 was changing the tire on the front passenger side. Winter time, I had bought 4 tires on line and decided to try my hand at manual tire changes. This was not as bad as I anticipated. It is tough work, but not out of my realm. I spent a little less than $100 on a manual tire change tool and balancing tool which both have saved enough to pay for themselves. For the tire changer, definitely bolt this to the floor. Stability makes this easier. To be clear, I would not do this on larger tires. The small car I have only uses 13 inch tires. Task number 2 was to tighten up the arm rest in the old truck. Fortunately, last year, I purchased the T50 star head tool and left it in the truck. Once again planning has made things simpler. Those 2 tasks completed in short order, and we move on to the main Task number 3. This task was to replaced the cloudy headlights. Having done this many years ago, I was hesitant. This time, the job went super smooth and fast. 2 bolts and 3 electric plugs and all was well. Clear headlights once again gave the car a new face and, more importantly, I can see!
Nice job!!
