Default New Headlights and Brush Guard

My headlights were collecting water and condensation inside, and the lenses were very foggy and scratched. I bought these off of Ebay, and with some new bulbs, they are much brighter at night. I bought long-life turn signal bulbs, since you have to remove the entire headlight assembly to replace them. The headlights and park lights are one piece.

Looks good! Replacing headlights make such a difference to a rig, so much of a cleaner look.

You read that from one of my posts. The only way to adjust them is to remove plastic with a dremel and shim the bolts with washers. I'm still flagging ufo's with my right light because I haven't taken the time to adjust it yet.

That's one thing I didn't like about these lights, I don't know why they would make them without an adjustment screw. I did manage to get them to a good level using the exact method you mentioned, washers on the bolts. I'm happy with them though, definitly an improvement over the old ones.

The brush guard has no brand identifying markers on it, no part numbers, nothing. However, looking through photos online, I think it was made by GoIndustries, and it was called the "Town and Country" model. They don't make them anymore, unfortunatly.

I took the light guards off my brush guard because I could see the lines in the light due to the clear lenses.

Better fix that ASAP lest some wayward aliens beam you aboard and commence to making you the unwilling recipient of an **** probe.

I would think they would have **** probing out of the way by now. I mean, how much can they really learn from a butt?

I can see the lines from the light guards when I'm in the driveway, right next to the house, but with regular driving, I don't notice them. And yeah, watch out for those **** probes.
