Uh-oh. This last summer, me and my dad were cruising along at 75 on the highway, heading out to Lime Rock, when all of a sudden a large flock of small birds pulled up off the median and flew right in front of us. Kill count: Unknown, est. 6-7. Known hits: 1. Point of impact: Top of windshield.

thx HotRed94, upon closer examination I noticed the light was inside the bumper and to the left a fraction of an inch. Took a screwdriver and gently tried moving light to the right and it poped right back into place. Looks just like new. Thanks again. SAVE THE WAVE
