Just took off my bumper and cleaned my radiators...my thoughts

...and finally took the light assembly out & replaced the little running lights on the side of the headlights...$4.99 for two at Pep Boys, however the little studs at the bottom were not like the Porsche running lights and were 90 degrees as opposed to how the OEM are...filed on of them down and stuck it in and locked it
just fine...i'm sure these lights are not this price at the dealer...
...I will do this again...in about 5 years-

sort of reminds me of the time i was on a date 30 years ago and the headlights in my 1980 911sc were dim and almost completely out. i checked fuses and headlight fuse was suspect. i wrapped a piece of aluminum foil around the fuse and worked great.
when we got home the underside of the dash started smoking like it was on fire. i quickly removed the foiled fuse and had totally burned the wiring harness.
$2600 later the new wiring harness was installed by my mechanic

I did my radiators in March and found pretty much the same thing as the OP. Then last weekend I ran a DE with Sunday being in the mid 80's. I found that the engine temps (as read by the dash gauge) were pretty much the same as a DE last November prior to cleaning them.
This is not to say that trash is OK, but rather don't look for huge cooling improvements when most of the radiator is clean.
