‘96 Backup Lites..FYI
So I’m cleaning up my new toy and the backup lites are dingy and grey in color. After running around the internet not finding anything and since they are plastic I cleaned them like I do on my Moho. Used Mothers aluminum polish and then painted 3 coats of plastic clear coat and they look pretty darn good. Took about 15 min of cleaning and then the paint so overall about an hour for both including a few cups of coffee. Hope this helps🤔

The proof would be in the pics...of which there are none.
So your assignment is to grab your camera or phone, get out to the garage, snap some pics, and post them!

I replaced the backup lights and all 4 cornering lights with led from superbrightleds.com
I cleaned and polished all the lenses on my 88 but I can tell you the new bulbs are 10x brighter.. i have no nighttime pics,, but in reverse its like having actual lights back there.. highly recommend them.
