1.Check Tire pressure and set to 32 cold.

2.Removed driver side headlight due to moisture inside lens. Removed vent tubes cleaned them out, removed gaskets around the bulb housing to get some airflow going and letting it dry out.

3.Check 9005 bulbs (hi) they were miss matched. Pulled bulbs from old car since they were matched and newer and installed.

Last week Oil change.

Its easier during the day because the sun isn't hitting u from every angle and getting in your eyes. It takes some getting used to at night, I have to drive slower when I'm on darker streets.
