~~~~nipples~~~~~~

How do you get rid of those ugly three nipples on each headlight.....I honestly didn't notice them before, but now that i noticed them, they are really ugly lol.....Is there any way of buying like a clear lense or anything like that?

these "nipples" are there for a reason. But I'm sure you all knew that.

You gain .00000003427 of an mpg because it helps break the square plane of the headlight for areodynamics.

you are correct sir. it's for the manual aiming machines. it's pretty much like a giant level, a pain in the *** to use.

you still have to do it when performing a safety inspection if the lights are uneven (in the shop that is). Outside of the shop, the garage or wall method works just as well.

i'm sorry, you are right. if the headlights are out of adjustmen, the mechanic can use the garage wall method too.

Wow what a bunch of babies...

Anyways, I dont see why you'd really want to get rid of them, they're not THAT noticable.
