I might add that attention should be made to the condition of the covers of your headlights. Any degradation to the clarity or transparency of the lights significantly impacts their usage. Plastic polishing kits are available at all auto parts stores that will bring them back to almost new condition. In any case, a good cleaning and then a good coat of wax or a coating of Rain-X will keep them clean. Any degradation to the reflectors in the tail or marker lights should be taken care of with a fresh coat of paint (Krylon has a good quality shiny silver in a spray can) or use heavy duty aluminum foil. Clean, Wax or Rain-X those covers too! Finally, Rain-X works wonders for all your windows to help visibility and also carry an anti-fog cloth for the inside of your windshield when conditions are nasty.
