Thanks guys. Really excited, and about to wrap it up for the night, and celebrate with the wife..

And 16 my a** ! Daddy's gonna dump more money and time into this for me to hand em over jr. ! ! Or at least thats what I say now right ? Good luck with the lights and keep the drill moving and lubricated. I found the I couldn't kill the polishing pad at the end and used what was left and some gel drops on a 2 yo Tacoma with AWESOME results. Thing was so clear it looked invisible !

I just finished doing the head light thingy with the Harbor Freight kit. WOW. it really worked. I did take pics before and after, but my wife has so many pics on the camera that it never finished uploading. . I can see the bulb now, which I couldn't see anything in the lens before. I got stuff all over the front of the truck, but I can clean that up. I can't wait to drive at night to see light in fromt of me.

Nice headlights, those are what I was looking for but found a set of modified projector style in black that I really like. Ordering all for the truck middle of June to get ready for paint in July.

I've never been so happy to get the middle finger salute ! I hadn't realized really how bad the headlights were until I got to pull up behind some guy tonight and watched him duck, squirm, adjust the rear view and finally wave ! !

ok I think this thread is dead..Night all
