Mike, If I remember correctly you mentioned installing "Skew Caps" in the past. I am running Ron Francis Brite Bulbs (125/75 CP) and was wondering if I installed "Skew Caps on the bulbs it would cut the glare as they are pretty bright. Again going from memory you suggested using aluminum foil? Thanks.
