Cheap Plastic Headlamp Trick
Since we US owners are stuck with the cheap plastic fog-lamp lenses on the 201 and 124 cars, and they craze in the sun, ...
I was changing my PS filter today, dripped a little PS fluid on the nasty crazed and foggy foglamp cover today, it turned clear. Hmm. Wiped down the whole lense with PS fluid, it looks pretty good. It'll have to do until I get my Euro lights, not all bad. True story, about 15years ago a friend was trading in his car, really oxidized brown paint. We took a quart of oil and a couple of rags and oiled down the paint, then ran it through the brushmonster, rich-deep luster. I hope I don't see this trick too often on fleabay, but my headlamps look pretty good for now, ... - Jeff Miller 190DT |

Mothers metal polish and plastic.
Hello all
I have used Mothers metal polish on all kinds of plastics ( tail lights, turnsignals, dash trim ). It makes a huge difference in the clarity, and shinnyness of the peice. Expecially darker colors like red brake light lenses. Try it on an old plastic lens you have laying around the garge, you will love it. It has worked so well for me, I almost wanted to keep it a secret. Thank You RichC

Mothers also makes a plastic polish West marine has a plastic polish. Eastwood sells a headlamp restoration kit.
I got a small cotton buffer and used a codless drill. Worked great.
