[V8] Headlight replacement

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I suppose so, considering how easy it is to remove the bumper ;-)

Which reminds, me.  If you are keeping the stock headlights, over time they
develop a film on the inside.  When you remove them, you can clean this film
off by mixing warm water and Windex and with the headlights facing down,
pour the mixture (1/2 -1 cup_ through the bulb hole and slosh the mixture
around, making sure to rinse a few times and air dry (blow-dryer works
well).  They will be like new.  Don't believe me?

Pic of one headlights prior to cleaning and the other after (from mom's
first v8 -- California car).
