Wash those headlights
I just washed my headlights yesterday, and I can't remember the last time I did. There was some nasty crap on them. People complain about how dim they are, well this should help.
For anybody that doesn't know, turn your lights on, then turn the switch back to the parking lights and the lights will stay up for washing.

After washing I wipe them down with Rain-X. I don't care about the rain effect but it keeps a lot of things from adhering (ie. bugs, grime).

Got to wash those every now and then. If nothing else, good to get the bug remains off them.
