Arrow Somebody help please...

Ok heres the deal. I was drivin down the freeway mindin my business when the tacoma in front of me locks up his brakes. i look left..a cement wall....look right...2 cars, so i had to hit the brakes too...skirrrttt. the trck stops before me from like 70mph and i ended up slidin under him almost 1\2 way up my hood. i also had my lights up and the drivers side light was crushed and fell off and the passenger side was stadin straight up when i got out. the problem is that now only the passenger side headlight works and i cant really drive at night like that. what i need is a quick temp fix for the lights that aint to cheezy(ie flashlight tied down) but wont get me pulled over and will still help me to be able to see. help me as soon as possible cause this is wreckin my springbreak........gracias


--O ya, '86 n/a

Just tear all the damaged parts off and go to a junkyard and replace the ****. Nobody can tell you how to rig up something if they can't see how bad the damage is.

Oh yeah, next time don't follow so closely. If some pickup slams on his brakes and you can't stop fast enough, you were too close. Your N/A should stop ALOT better than a pickup!!! And if someone then rearended you, it would be their fault!!!
