Didn't you have an XJ with a SBC 350? It sat in the corner of EVO's old place for a while?

Surprising tip for just cleaning them up.. Just use regular toothpaste, put it right on the headlight and scrub it well with a rag.. Rinse off then do it once more. It took the ones on my pickup from probably about 40% to about 70%

yeah see napa had those 40 dollar 3m kits on sale last month for 20.... so i bought one of those if not a sander and the proper pads will work to.... i will post some pics of the headlights in  my build up....they are 100% including signals(nice and bright again).... ihave nother set as the vechile came with a replacement front for the cracked one... so i have some hazed over lights for comparison.... 

i know i get high beamed all the time for my low beams and there only the piaa extreme whites....and thefunny thing is its all the new vechiles with hids doing it to me....

i have plans for piaas 7led driving lights and some scrap plate and the break at work...

okay so been driving these for 3 weeks now.. got about 2500 kms on them already... and amn... they stick when u want them to...

i think there between a sticky and regular tire caus eone good spin and your gone... even the other day driving out on the 566 which is rutted to crap the ruts where full of water in the sun ice in the shade and i never felt slippage any time... and i was doing 120 passing people withonly my rear drive shaft in...

i think its alot to do with the driver and knowing what u can and cant do cause  i dotn put myself into stupid situations..

all though i have been doing donuts entering parking lots but mostly on purpose there was a couple ties i gassed it hard to see what it would do and i could gather it back up pretty easy.  overall i give them a 7 so far out of 10

And you don't think going 120 passing cars on icy roads with any mud tire is a bad idea? Just sayin...

no if i was doing my usual fish tailing while doing it that might be bad... see i think doing a donut while entering a parking lot is perfectly normal
