Hi Bob,

Ron mentioned those to me - but as protection for the new headlights, not as
a way to sneak my pinholed light through the inspector.  I talked to the
inspector about repairing the headlight and he explicitly said he's not
allowed to pass a repaired headlight if it has a hole.  So I think trying to
sneak something past him is a risky proposition.  I can't go elsewhere for a
new inspection, because my van now has a sticker on it showing that I
already took it to the first place.
