peeeot Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 The reverse light lenses on my 91 cutlass supreme have a dull yellowish tint to them. I've noticed this problem is widespread among 89-91s but not the later models. Is there anything I can do short of replacing the lenses to make them look clean and clear again?

1990lumina Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Buff them perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joseph Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Some Mother's brand plastic polish and a buffer should clear them up a little anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 In all honesty, I'd personally just swap on the newer tail lights/trunk applique from a '92+ car and call it a day. the earlier ones are kind cheap and nasty looking imho.

Euro Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 yeah or use some stuff...either mothers or meguiars..called like PlasticX or PlastiX or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeeot Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 hmmm, sounds like I need to take a trip to the parts store to peruse their car care chemicals. I agree with you, Gutless Supreme, the later rear end looks nicer, but I've only ever seen one early car with clean shiny reverse lights whereas all the later ones look like new. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll let you know what I do and how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Handbuffing with 3M Fill & Glaze works. In all honesty, I'd personally just swap on the newer tail lights/trunk applique from a '92+ car and call it a day. the earlier ones are kind cheap and nasty looking imho. That wouldn't work on a 2dr due to the placement of the license plate. Not sure he's got a 2dr, but he mentioned 89 and that year was 2dr only.

peeeot Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 That's right, mine's a convertible so I guess it wouldn't work. I'll check out that 3M stuff, thanks a bunch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well, you still could use the 92+ tailights, but you'll have to cut the center section out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well, you still could use the 92+ tailights, but you'll have to cut the center section out. actually that car has '88-91 reverse lights still on it, only with a black border. You could cut the '92+ center piece though but then you'd have to fabricate the lights for the license plate lighting. On my old '90 before I made them red (see white car in that photo) I used polishing compound to get the haze off the lights and it worked great.
