Default Question about "Hazy tail lights"

740 turbo here, and i just have a quick question that maybe you guys could help out with. On my rear tail lights they look almost hazy with a white-ish film kinda thing. Is this a normal thing that just happens with time? They are not a sharp looking as "new" ones on e-bay etc...

It is pretty common.

Try getting some Mothers mag and aliminum polish and cleaning them with it.

if you can find a plastic polish kit it'll make it look like brand new..
I use mine on everything, i'd give you the brand but it's from when i was air force we used it to polish the canopy's
good luck

Hi Colgate,

I'm not sure how much the tail light assy's are on e-bay, but I do know the ones I bought from this place http://www.lampsandlenses.com/ are a little over $50 ea. including the circuit boards, just plug them in and your good to go. Just another option for ya if you're still hunting for some.

I used Xerapol plastic polish on my 850 estate lights. It took about 2 minutes each side and they came up as good as new.

Xerapol is on eBayUK but is shipped worldwide.
