Pulled my headlights this afternoon to polish them up and installed these in the meantime. They only seem to work when there's oncoming traffic...

Just for fun. My arms were tired of wet sanding the headlight covers so I took a break and it hit me. Now all the rappers want it!

You know, I wanted to put something there just in case it rained overnight so the elec connectors didn't get soaked - and sure enough it rained for like 2 hours that night! That silly foil idea probably saved me from having to dry them out before reinstalling the headlights the next day. So it's a win-win!
