I did some 'Bon-Ami' on the lights of my old Dodge truck, worked but not real good.
Got some Mothers stuff from Pep Boys the other day that's said to work real fine. Cost $10.
I'll find out tomorrow how good it is........

buy new ones, thats what the most common thing is.(its plastic not glass so they fade and look yellow from moisture and light)
