Re-installed the headlights after having them sanded and clear-coated locally based on a recommendation from a fellow forum member (thanks dghii). The wiring for the turn signals crumbled when I pulled the headlights out so while they were being reworked I dismantled the connectors and replaced the insulation with heat shrink. Before re-installing, I peeked inside the headlights to check all the other wiring fearing it might also be crumbling. Yeah! Everything looked good. Well, that was until I started to replace the parking signal bulbs. The wires crumbled if you looked at them much less touch them. So, for the moment I just taped up the exposed wires with electrical tape until I can find the time to disassemble everything and either replace the wiring or cover with heat shrink.

I know, I know. I should have stopped and repaired the issue properly. But sometimes I just want to drive the car instead of always working on it. Can you ever get ahead of the maintenance on this car? Just venting ......
