Bonehead discovery!

While washing the Vette the other night, popped the headlights on and duh... figured out why my lights seemed so dull. IN THE TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I HAVE NEVER WASHED THE HEADLIGHT LENSES.... HELLLLOOOOO! Needless to say, lights are much brighter. Man, what an a$$ monkey.

I'm glad that you have seen the light and will not repeat your past transgressions
