Hey gasman,
Time to get to the local salvage yard for some new headlights & covers. I've been sort of spoiled by Ebay, most everything I own is old, so it's easier to find parts.
I'm going to get those things guys put on their cars to warn the deer. I had 'em on my 95 Civic & was driving alot through the mts of Pa. The deer would hear me & run the other way. Lot of times you can find 'em at a flea market or second hand store for cheap.
Good luck w/ your science experiment,
Dave
