Joy,

You might try a good auto parts store for a windshield stone chip repair
kit.  Remove the headlamp, take out the bulb, dump the water, repair the
hole, and try to slip it through inspection.  Be careful not to break the
plastic parts on the headlamp adjusters.  You should not be turning them in
any case.

The license plate lamp may well be dim because the fixture is rusty and
corroded.  It may not have a proper ground.  Be careful here to as it is
easy to break the old fixtures.

Fuel pump whine is most often caused by a dirty fuel filter.

I sold the house & moved into temporary living quarters in the warehouse.
My room is not much bigger than a bus.
Apartment construction starts soon.
