Back side of the headlight is eaten up a bit and the bulb harness is shambled some. They secured the wires with some shrink tubing and applied some sort of epoxy resin to the back of the fixture to cover the holes. It works, but you know how it is just knowing how jerry-rigged something is on your car.... it just never sits right with you, heh. So, for the headlight; that is something I need to keep my eye open for. Brand new, those bastages are damned pricey. Especially since I need to get some new rubber on her by the ipcoming winter.
The hose is the least of my worries. The tech knew quite well that the Trooper was the big brother of the VX and mentioned to the shop manager that one from that might work ok. I just told the manager not to worry, I could manage one on my own. Not an issue to me.
Regardless, a fairly happy, yet expensive ending for a pretty strange event.
