87 z28 turn/parking lights
I have an 87 z28 and im looking to make all the lights in the front clear. I just bought the side marker lights, but im looking for the clear parking/turn signal lights on the front bumper. I know the ones i have on there are clear already but they are really cloudy. Does anyone know where i can find new ones cheaply, or if there is a way to clean them or what to use to clean them. Thanx....

You can buy new ones for around $75, or you can clean the old ones for next to nothing. Remove the old ones, spray in a decent foaming cleaner, and thoroughly rinse out with a hose. Then on the outside lens, use either a plastic polish or an aluminum wheel polish.
Mine used to look very dull and were starting to yellow. I did the above procedure and they look every bit as good as a friends car with brand new lights.

I have some brand new clear ones...but I don't want them (I don't think.
). I want YELLOW ones, but I can't find them anywhere.
I like how the yellow looks better than the clear, especially with a red car.
I may be stuck with my clear ones though...since I haven't been able to find some good yellow ones.

I would recommend these for fresh paint or just to make the front end look new. Cleaning the old ones will only get you so far...

That eBay auction is a joke. He wants a buy it now of $80!!!! You can buy 2 sets from TGR for that price. Wow...
After finding some yellow ones at Hawks Third Gen Parts...and seeing the picture of them, I think I may stick with my clear ones. That yellow looks NASTY.

C'mon people...don't be stupid. Click on the link posted for ThirdGenResource by Ripin92RS in his most recent post.
You pull down the menu and there is a figure of "add $0" for each side individually, and then for both together, it says "add $39.99".
They're $40/pair. It's not that difficult. I bought my clear ones from TGR for $40 for the pair. I know it says "Price is per parking lamp" but that's not accurate. Look at the pricing figures, not what it says. If you order you'll get a pair for $40.
