Default Dull tail light lens help

Not trying to promote any one company, but if you have those dull filmy tail lights ( like we all do) try Meguiar's PlastX. I use it on my other headlight lens covers and it brightens and removes the film. I thought why not on the Vette lens and it actually works very good.

Probably other brands out there too that will work.

Good to know. Another expedient is to buy repro lenses. But, there are at least two,if not more, sources of repro lenses. It is possible to buy lenses that are of the same quality of the originals. Same quality means that the stainless rings in the lenses must be stainless steel..not chrome plated steel.
