Finally got around to doing some resto on the headlight lens on the panel.
Yikes I can see beyond the bumper now!

So many life issues has caused me to neglect my rides, hoping for a break in the action.

Like you, I did the headlights as well. I used the sandpaper/clear enamel hack, and it came out better than those $20 kits. I spent $0 for everything, because I had already done my Saturn, and I had tons of 800 & 1000 Sandpaper, so now the only problem is that they are so dang clear, that I've been flashed TWICE with people thinking I have my high-beams on! lol... Wait till they get a load of the LED's when I install them! lol

Maybe your headlights need a slight adjustment downwards ?

How about a quick step-by-step tutorial? Mine could use a polish...

I just had the safety check a month ago, and I watched the guy line up the crosses, and it seems to be right in the middle. Also, I did the wall test to make sure that they were even, and they actually point ever-so slightly lower than my Saturn. I think it's just reactionary on the country roads. Out here where I live, there aren't any street lights for miles. Even I feel like some people have on their high beams when they don't. I just don't flash them.

Have you lowered the rear end? That will make the headlights aim slightly higher.

Wow now there's a couple songs you don't hear much anymore. We have a local radio station I keep on in the tool shed when I'm working on a project, or sharpening tools, and it plays a nice mix of 60's, 70's and Hawaiian music. I've heard Manfred Mann's version thrown in every so often, but I don't think I've heard Bruce's version. That's interesting... I like the Little River Band which is along this grain... Good times.
