What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
As for the headlights, several companies make cleaning kits, trouble is, it doesn't last. Cleaning them basically consists of using a VERY fine abrasive to take some material off the headight lense, leaving it nice and clear. Unfortunately, it also takes off the the layer of UV protectant that is supposed to keep them from yellowing... Which means, they yellow again, even faster. Some kits have a spray on coating with them, and those seem to have better success rates.
Other alternative is to just replace them. AM-Autoparts.com has good prices on replacements, that are actually of reasonable quality. I got both mine, with the side markers, and bulbs.... for 85 bucks shipped to my door.
And you really wanna post in the third gen ram section.

2nd Gen Tow hooks
Fabbed up some tow hook brackets. Spent longer on them than I care to admit but I'm happy. Mostly mimicked the Mopar ones minus one mount bolt per flange, 3 per is way overkill. I went with 2 per.
started with this
shortened up a bit. flux core + bevelled edges on 1/4" plate works great with a cheapo welder. tried with gas and couldn't get near enough penetration
horizontal flanges to tie into the crossmember
gussets - try not to laugh too hard at my booger welds. i tried multi-passing them but should have just left them. the weld underneath has lots of penetration
drilled and bedlined
installed (with lots of grease )
I used hooks and nut plates from an older Suburban which have a slight upward angle to them. They conform nicely with the front bumper

Looks great though. You did a good job. Tow hooks are a godsend when you need them.
