Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
I just installed new headlights on the beast last night. One lowbeam was out, one high beam had a crack and hole in it. Amazingly it was still working.  Anyway, rather than just replace the two, I went with all four so they'd all have the same luminosity. (Nice big word for me, eh?! Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing)

Anyway, it seems silly, but seeing it with nice new shiny clean headlights makes me like my Vette just a little more.

Oh, plus my son helped me. That was cool! I should have had the wife take a picture.

Awesome Adam. Good choice replacing all four...nothing looks worse than new hardware installed next to old stuff. And it is really cool that your son was involved. That's how I got started. My dad raced stock cars and built engines for his friends C2 Vettes. Those days as a young boy in the garage working on cool cars remain with me to this day. Have fun!

That's great, Adam!  I love it when I can do something I like to do and include the kids (and they like it, too).  We're raising future C3 fanatics!!! Make sure your wife gets a pic next time!!!

Atta boy, Adam & Co.!!! Sometimes the simplest projects turn out to be the most rewarding. Now, tell the truth...the young-un actually did most of the werk, right?
