Hit the headlights with a little rubbing compound and elbow grease to get rid of some of the yellow haze. Yes I know, temp improvement, but they are a little better and hey it was cheap.

Not today, but over the weekend, replaces the passenger side front wheel bearing/hub assembly. Did the front axle U-joints and never seized the **** out of everything when it went back together. That little preventative maintenance made the hub that much easier. Hour and a half from jack up to jack down.

I used 1000 grit to wet sand the drivers side but skipped that step on the passenger and I couldn't tell the diff. The clear coat on the head lights question has me wondering though, anyone tried this?
