Can I clean my 2012 Camry's headlight covers?

Can I clean my 2012 Camry's headlight covers?

My headlights are not very bright, and when I look at the cover, it looks quite cloudy. I can't quite tell whether the streaks are inside or outside, but they don't clean off easily.

Is it possible to get the covers clearer?

How does this happen anyway? I bought this car used, it didn't happen while I've owned it.

2025 medical expense refunded in 2026, redeposited in HSA as mistaken distribution. Do I need to refile my 2025 taxes?

I recently got a check from a medical provider, refunding me money from a procedure last year that insurance finally caught up on and reimbursed. The money I paid out in 2025 was paid from my HSA.

I filled out a mistaken distribution form to allow the 2026 deposit to actually count as a 2025 deposit. I got my corrected 2025 tax form for this, I'm pretty sure this all got handled right on the provider side.

The distribution last year was not subject to any taxes, since it was a qualified medical expense. Therefore, even with redepositing the mistaken distribution, my tax burden for 2025 wouldn't change.

My question is: am I still required to refile my 2025 taxes to put the corrected distribution amount for last year?

Why is my Ender 3 print having issues printing bottom surfaces smoothly? Also issues with webbing and holes

I am printing PLA (Ender-branded) with an Ender 3 V2 neo, Cura slicer. I recently had to remove a clog and, at the same time I did that, I also replaced the head. These problems appeared after I replace the head. They have appeared on two different prints using two different filaments. It took me a while to remove the clog (like, almost a year; I had stuff going on in my life). I always thought my filaments would stay dry since I live in a very dry part of the country, but maybe not?

Nozzle: 200 deg C, bed: 60 deg C, speed 50 mm/s (inner/outer wall, support, and top/bottom surfaces all at 20 mm/s), retraction distance 6 mm, retraction speed 25 mm/s, retraction minimum travel 1.5 mm. I'll try to post my whole set of settings in a comment (can't seem to do it in this post).

First problem: downward facing surfaces at angles that the printer used to be able to handle fine now look very rough. Here's the tail of a goose that I'm printing, with the supports in place:

And with those supports removed:

Overall, quite rough, though there is a smooth section on the right. I'm a little frustrated at that.

The other problem is webbing and holes. The holes only appear only certain layers, rather than evenly over the whole print:

Wasn't into anime 10 years ago and didn't know about this movie. So glad I finally got to see it in a theater

The impact this movie has had on me is huge. I've wanted more out of my life and my entertainment ever since I first saw it five years ago.

What just happened to the air quality? It was clear an hour ago, now I can barely see the mountains

Literally an hour ago, at 7:00 p.m., I was geeking out over how incredibly clear the air was. Now I can barely see the mountains, and I'm less than a mile from them! Anybody know what's going on?

Planted blue grama grass seed last year, now it's producing seeds this year!

My front island has been a weed bed for years. I didn't want to plant something that required much water or that was high maintenance, so I took the native route.

Late last year, I planted blue grama grass seed. It germinated in the late summer and survived the winter fine. I've spent probably 30 or 40 hours total weeding it this year (about 100 square feet) until the grass was finally established enough to dominate the weeds.

With the monsoon rains lately, the grass has greened up nicely. The more established bunches are even growing their seeds, which is the whole reason I wanted blue grama instead of a different native grass. Beautiful!

Where are my A-post airbags in 2019 Sienna? (Installing dash cam)

I'm installing a dash cam in my 2019 Sienna. I need to understand exactly where my curtain airbags are in my A-post so that I can know where is safe to install the wires of my dash cam.

Please note that I am very bad at pulling panels off of cars. I have no confidence that I could pull the panel off to look at where the airbag is without breaking something. I am tucking the wire behind the panel and the weather stripping.

Looking at the photo above:

  • My power wire is currently installed alone the red. Is that okay or do I need it to follow the yellow?
  • I will also need to run a wire to the rear camera. Can I install along the light blue line, or do I need to have the wire follow the dark blue line, or something else?

Should the edge seal on my TPO roof be coming off after less than 3 years?

I got a new TPO roof installed over part of my house that has a nearly-flat roof (probably a few percent gradient) almost three years ago. I was surprised this year to find some of the sealant/caulking on the edges hanging off the roof. See the pictures above.

It looks like silicone caulking, the kind I've used to seal up my bathtub.

In contrast, a different TPO installation from this same roofer (a much smaller job) has different seal on the edge, which is still holding fast despite being slightly older than the installation shown below.

Is it normal for TPO edge sealant to be falling off my roof after three years? Is it normal to use silicone sealant for TPO edges? Should I pursue a warranty claim with my roofer?

Where to find what the OEM part number is for washer fluid cap for 2012 Camry?

I'm searching and searching and can't find any information online for the OEM part number for a 2012 Camry's washer fluid cap. My cap is missing and I want to replace it.

RockAuto doesn't have washer fluid caps as a category, as far as I can see. toyota.epc-data.com doesn't recognize my VIN (assuming the VIN is the same as the frame number?). Google searches are coming up empty.

How can I find this?

Best way to replace four can lights with GE EQ PAR20 LED spot flood light bulb with four controllable color-changing lightbulbs?

I have a room with can lights, each of which have a GE EQ PAR20 LED spot flood light bulb (which sit flush with the can, pretty nice). I would like to change these to controllable color-changing bulbs. Two main questions:

  1. I want to keep the spot flood light design so that the next bulbs sit flush with the can fixture. Is "spot flood light" the right name to call bulbs shaped like that?

  2. I'm not quite understanding the difference between smart bulbs and smart switches. My house is 50 years old with no existing smart stuff, so I'm not sure which setup is easier/better for my room. Suggestions?

Is it worth making a home insurance claim against my service line coverage, or will that make me uninsurable?

Last year, I switched to a new insurance agent. He was a little surprised to see that I had a claim for wind damage to a roof a few years ago. He said that once I have a second claim I would become uninsurable, so I should have covered that out of pocket.

This new agent also encouraged me to purchase service line coverage. My house is getting old and I'm particularly worried about my sewer line, so I decided to do it. $50 a year for $500 deductible, max $10,000 coverage.

Fast forward almost a year, now I have root intrusion into my sewer line.

I want to make a claim for the sewer line so I don't have to pay as much to get the line repaired. However, it seems insane to me that for only $50 a year I can get coverage for such an expensive repair. It makes me feel like it's a scam or something.

  1. Is service line coverage a scam?

  2. If I have a service line claim and a roof wind damage claim within the last 5 years, is my insurance going to drop me? Will I have a hard time finding someone to cover me?
