New headlights FTW.



Buuuuut, if you can't swing that right now, get some liquid wheel polish and polish the headlights. It will work, not day one clear but you will notice a difference. That's what I've done on my 97 till I can get some new ones.

You can tape off your painted areas and use fine sand paper and wet sand them. Do a search and you should be able to find a thread that tells you what to do.

Hmm, if you don't mind me borrowing your thread a little, where did you buy your smoked lights for our older models? I don't know all the sites to look at still and the usual like AmericanMuscle don't have it.

PlastX by Meguiar's. Worked great on my F-150!

Permatex make a kit to clean the bad yellow/clouded headlights that you can pick up at local auto parts store or you can use plasti x if they are not bad.

For exterior oxidation, I've found that Plastic Polish by Mothers and a PowerBall Mini can do wonders with little effort and in just about 10 minutes. Pop the hood, mask around with low-tack painter's tape and you'll brighten those lenses in no time.

If you do have major oxidation, an aggressive polish for aluminum can help with an initial cut.

PlastX is a little milder than the Mothers, but it's probably fine if you have very light hazing.
