[Shotimes] new game: does it work?

[Shylo McKinsey]

Yeah, you're right. Was just saying because I was only
charged ONE dollar for shipping. Maybe they had a sale
or worked some of the shipping into the retail price.
Just seems that $9 dollars for that product is a
little too obvious that profiteering is going on. But
that's the world we live in...

Jason, another option you could try with your lights
is to buff them. Take a plastic buffing compound and
go to work. Be very VERY patient with it, and make
sure you don't get them too hot or you'll melt your
headlamps. If nothing else, it will be an temporary
fix untill you find something better. It made a
night/day difference with my lights.
