I tapped a little on the lens and it was a high pitch one, kinda glassy..but the feel isnt like glass.

Do you still have your old glass headlight bulbs? If so do a "tap" comparison for the sound. How does it not feel like glass?
Also feel the temperature of them, glass will feel colder than plastic.

Today I spent some time (prolly more than it shoulda took) putting in the new rubber links on the coolant pipe on the driver side. I might need to move one a little more to make sure I get a good seal. Was a pain to try and wiggle the front part and the hose to get it over the pipe...basically because i could only get one arm in there at a time..so I had to reach under the frame with one and the other up in there...and Im sure I used muscles in angles they really otta not be...lol

Today I started on the modifications to the front turn light wiring, adding in the connectors to plug the halos on my headlights. Used old style hard drive connectors since they have the same guage wire and are pretty durable.

Will have to do the ends on the lights themselves next, which will be a pain since i'll have to do it on the car.
