Hi volks,

on my '87 Westi, the headlights are working, but on each side, the larger
rectangular lenses are cracked to some extent.  one has multiple small
cracks and even a chunk or 2 of glass [?] missing on a corner.  The other
has just one small hole, resembling a very small caliber bullet hole.
there's been some condensation inside, or maybe rain gets in.  That's IT! --
i can blame this, too, on el nin~o  <s>

anyway, i was looking into buying some used headlight assemblies ['87 being
parted out] that i saw on some "classifieds" website.  owner wants $100 +
shpg for both.

but someone told me yesterday that all i need to do is go to Pep Boys or
other FLAPS and replace the sealed beams for just a few $ apiece.

any advice will be appreciated.

gail,
enjoying a bright but cloudy day in Sacramento, measuring Westi curtains,
preparing for my next project  :)
