    Awesome. When you buff the headlights buy a rattle can of clear coat. Mask everything off and give them a light coat when you are done. It will keep them from fading fast again. If you buy new headlights that aren't oem clear them before installing them or they will fade quickly too.

    When you get a chance in the daylight take a up close pic for me so I can see how bad they are, I'll be able to tell you what to grab.

    It's going to be buffing compound, it just a matter of what grit depends on how bad they are. Those headlight restoration kits are a waste of money, spit expensive and don't do that good of a job. I use sandpaper most of the time (800 grit up on a 200 point roll) but I tend to steer people away from doing that unless they are really comfortable with their sanding skills because you can #### the lights up worse if you do it wrong.

    Shipping some to Japan. Lady in east Texas went over there where they raise some high dollar cattle.
    She said when the plane landed they were putting the calves in cars, busses& baskets on bicycles.

    If im reading your gps right, about 2 hours ahead. I snapped that one photo near the jacknife at 1913. I was in a blue midroof 680 with a 53 ft east behind.

    Heck of a show for your first. I hit west valley ut at about 2340. My logs were out and i got em fixed there today, i was running loose leaf. Only took 3 black boxes to finally get the thing working. First two had the wrong software for my truck.

    The last time i had the infiite misfortune to be in wyoming when it "really snowed" i got stuck in Cheyenne for 2days and 25 was out for the first day. And 70 looked equally frustrating when 25 did open.
