Amazon had then $25.00 they are not the best quality but are working good and are clear lens not like original with the lines. I will hold on to the original ones and if these crap out will prolly take the time to polish them up and clear coat. They weren't broken just figured would change out since I was doing the headlights anyways.

If just leaves is the extent of the cleanup, you did VERY well.

Loosen up the bumper mounting bolts, and let it sag down, makes getting the headlights out/in MUCH easier. Will need a friend (or two) to hold the bumper in place to retighten the bolts.

Yes, we were lucky... no house damage, just lots of branches in the yard.

Wish i knew about this before i replaced both back in January. The driver side became defective due to water getting in. Got them from Amazon with a one year warranty. Paid 15 bucks to get a replacement. Keeping the defective one as they did not want it back. I will keep it, all it needs is a bit of silicone on top edge so water does not get in.

Fixed the wild vents today and planning on a brake fluid flush ASAP.

Sadly, i have relegated the second Gen. as i got a newer daily driver. It will be our back-up vehicle from now on. It's still in great shape as in everything works, good tires, new inspection and registration, mopar dash bezel with an intact dash. The re-paint i got a few years ago sucks but ok overall.

I will still drive it once or twice a month with AC blasting, or as needed, so that nothing gets too dry from non use. And will fill it up with premium and an additive so the gas stays fresh.

Finally, it gets crappy mileage but it is extremely reliable. Served my wife well for 11 years since new and served me well these past 5 years. It left her stranded once due to fuel pump. It never left me stranded in the five years i had it.
