Default Polished the light lenses

My head lights were pretty dim on this '98 K2500 I bought a few weeks ago, so I thought I would try out one of those head light restoration kits that are sold by the car polish companies. I figured if I simply put in higher output bulbs, I would still have the faded lens issue to contend with anyways. So, do the job right and polish up those lens first - then see if you need brighter bulbs!

I ended up getting the Meguires headlight restoration kit and it works pretty good. For obvious reasons, I had to spend a bunch more time on the front lights than I did the rear lights. I worked on it for about 4hrs today. Here are some before and after crappy cell phone pictures.

Installed a new expansion valve in the rear A/C of the Burban. What a pain in the BUTT!!! Then it was too cold outside to really see how well the rear air was working. Oh well, we shall see soon enough.
