Yes, they are probably sandblasted and weathered from the sun, etc.
I have a 94 Ranger with plastic lenses as well, and I periodically polish
mine with some liquid Brasso on a towel. Or, I sometimes use a
scratch/swirl remover on them. I always follow up with a coat of wax.
Keeps my lenses nice and clear. Yours may be in worse shape, so, I would
recommend either a plastic window polish (car parts places sell this stuff
for polishing plastic windows in convertible soft tops), or maybe even try
using the brasso and some elbow grease (just find something for polishing
that's a little abrasive but not very harsh). Maybe, (assuming your
deductible is not too high)you could check with insurance to see if it could
be covered under comprehensive?

The plastic headlight lenses on my '90 B-II are dull and
semi-transparent, as if they had been sand blasted.
This condition must severely cut down on the
brightness of the headlights. The taillight lenses suffer
the same affliction.
Has anyone actually used a special technique or
product to restore the lenses back to their once
clear and transparent condition?

TIA,
Harry

Hi David,

What modifications were done between the headers and converters? Since I
have seen you talking about those here I've been thinking about putting them
on mine.
