Default Headlight Covers

Hey guys,

So I was washing the car and I couldn't figure out a way to get the baked bugs off of the headlight covers. So, I decided to try the back side of a sponge (the green stuff). Turns out, it does remove the baked bugs but it also scratches the hell out of the covers. So, 2 questions:

-Can I use Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor on headlight covers?
-Where can I buy new headlight covers?

I tried American Muscle and all I could find was smoked covers. I just want replacements. Like the stock piece of plastic. Any ideas?

Try Meguiars plastic polish
before replacing the headlight buckets.
The plastic 'covers' as you are calling them are
a non-replacable part of the headlight assemblies.

I tried that, it did approximately nothing...

It's not really that big of a deal. You have to be looking for the scratches but if I ever have a little extra money it's something I would lookk into fixing. Where can I get the headlight buckets?

So it's required for the cloning...

Sounds good to me. I should get some white stripes and we could have inverse clones going on...

You can call me HT (or Hunter) by the way. I would change my username but I'm not really sure if it's possible...
