I think perry summed it up pretty well.
I live in the area so I've seen Pete's car numerous times, and not once were the headlights dried out. At its worst point, there was so much condensation that at first glance it wasn't noticeable that there was anything in the headlight assembly that wasn't stock. Only upon closer inspection was it obvious what they SHOULD look like but didn't. It could have been such a beautiful product...
