I was able to track down some export tail lights. I have wanted a pair for over a decade now, but never got around to actually pursuing them. I bought a pair from overseas, but unsurprisingly they weren't quite as "great" as the classified promised.
The drivers side light is mostly clean with a foggy reverse light, and the passenger side is a lot more foggy throughout the lens. The inside reflectors are caked in grime too. The right side seems to almost be an entirely different shade of ABS - which I wouldn't be surprised as they were from 2 different cars.
I took a plastic polish material to them with a drill and buffing pad, but it made no noticeable effect. My fear is that the lenses have just deteriorated past the point of return.
Is there any hope for this set, or do I just have to take this one on the chin? My next plan of attack was going to try to polish a part of the inside of the lenses.
