Last week I bought some grid style taillights off of e-bay. When
I got them the lenses were nicely colored, but the driver side one
was cracked so I picked up another from a local salvage yard.
The only problem with the one from the salvage yard is that the
lenses are not as clear. However, both of them cleaned and
polished up alright and should look much better on my car than
the stock ones.

excellent job.

 

Good Find!

 

Sorry but I am bad at photochopping.

What polish did you use?

 

What polish did you use?

 

Yeah, how exactly did you go about it??

 

I went to the local Advance Auto Parts and picked up some
mothers rubbing compound and some blue magic aluminum polish.
1. I washed up the lights and dried them.
2. I then used the rubbing compound and polished by hand to
remove the deeper scratches.
3. Then I polished with the blue magic aluminum polish to
remove the finer scratches.

I polished them using flannel clothes. I will have some pictures
with them on my car within the next couple of weeks.

 

does anybody know a website i can buy firebird grid style tail lights off of?

 

Everytime i see a grid light post i get so mad cause i passed up a perfect set for 35 dollars.
