Re: better headlights ?

i bought the silverstars yest. $25 each at murrays. i need to fix my headlight aimers before i put them in though. the plastic clips for up and down aiming are broken. think i will just weld a nut to a washer and then weld that in place. should be an easy fix.

Whether or not you use the plastic clip or eld in a nut, put some "Anti-Sieze" on the threads, that keeps them from freezing up over the years. My plastic nuts have been in mine for quite some time and the stuff still works well.
