It's taken me 56 years for that to sink in but it never hurts to ask. My kids always tell me "you know better..don't cheap out"
While you have everything out and apart, consider moving the bullet connectors from inside the headlight bucket to just inside the radiator shell. That way you can remove the headlight bar without having to break open the headlight buckets to disconnect the wires.
