Just encase this tip hasn't been mentioned before: Never cover the headlights on a SSR with anything while the lights are on. You will melt the head lights due to the heat build up!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if that's what happened to ours once upon a time? The upper part of the driver's side headlight has a small raised area where it looks like it melted a tiny bit. 🤔

Looked at replacing it but all I can find are knock-offs for about $160 or the real deal used and new for between $300 and $650.

Good to know!

I'm really glad that I had seen a post on here awhile back on this. I've always kept a cover over my hood unless I'm driving it and never thought that the cover could damage the headlights lens if left on.

Clay bar from Zaino with a bit of the Zaino soap works real well on love bugs. I came back from a trip along the coast in South Lousiana last year - front end looked like a bug orgy - clay bar did real well and doesn't hurt the Zaino shine.

Just a side note on those crazy little "lovebugs", if not previously mentioned, the little buggers will also eat through clearcoat if not removed in a reasonable amount of time.
A real problem in Southeast Georgia twice a year for approximately 3 weeks each time - thanks KennethHorn for the clay bar tip...
