My 92 has the europeon red/amber taillights, and the lens' have a foggy look to them. Any ideas on how to clean them up?

You can remove them. Use a plastic polish on the outside and inside of the lens. If they clean up, GOOD!

If not, replacement would be in order.

Good Luck!

SAVE THE WAVE!

3M plastic cleaner for clear and colored plastics, removes fine scratches
Part No 051131
39017 in large print
Black bottle
about $8 to $9 for 8 oz.

I cleaned up my fog light lenses, works great. Takes a little elbo grease.

Another option I have tried in addition to using plastic polish is wet sanding the lenses and giving them a shot of clear coat. I usually use a fine sand paper like 600 or above. After sanding just give it like 1 or 2 light coats of clear coat out of the can and they will look like brand new. It also gives them a nice wet look. Just another thing to try.

The 39017 is a very fine rubbing compound.
