If you just wanna clean em up, Well im sure you could find some glass cleaners that would work or even a plastic type cleaner. I would have to recomend Ziano's glass cleaner, followed by windex, myself. Or if you want different collored or really clear lights, you might try doing something like Scauffiel did, in the clear sidemarker post, at <A HREF="https://www.thirdgen.org/messageforum3/Forum2/HTML/000053.html"> https://www.thirdgen.org/messageforu...ML/000053.html </A>

Well, I don't know about yours, but on my car the lenses are clear. The light is orange because the bulb inside is orange, not white like the side marker lights. I always wanted my parking lights to look really orange, like on new Camaros, but the only thing you can do to make them orange is have the orange bulbs. Otherwise they would be white with normal bulbs.

what I did on my camaro, was to take some leftover window tint(20%) and put it on my front blinker lenses after I sanded the little letters imprinted in them. looks 100% better.

at around $40.00 each new,its worth it.looks 100% better.they cant be taken apart and cleaned,unless you cut them.I guess it all depends on if you want a stock look or not.
