Default warning! gas damages headlights!!

ok, i feel like kind of a dork for having to warn people about this, but what the hell how was i supposed to know. i was pulling an ati procharger off my car and was pulling out the inline pump that is in the engine compartment. well as i quickly moved it over the headlight assembly some gas spilled on the outside headlight housing. i didn't think to wash it off quickly as i figured it would just evaporate before i had a chance. well it caught my eye about a half hour later and the outer lens had tons of small but very visible cracks in it!!!! wtf!!!! now i need a whole new headlight housing just cause some gas spilled on it!!! not quite sure what happened but there was some sort of chemical reaction that made the plastic lens get a bunch of small fractures in it. i know this is not something everyone is going to be doing, but maybe will give one or two people the knowledge so if it happens to them to wash it off asap. anyone got a extra passenger side hid light? hahaha

I'll change the title of your other existing thread (with the exact same content and replies at that).
