Thanks Bigkev and Mike! I'm saving my "pennies" for the big Purchase

Oddly, the most faded Lense is the NEWER one I had replaced when I first got my vehicle.

The ones pictured in Bezels I assumed are original, but i really have no way on knowing. I plan on experimenting with the Lense but only when I finally have "new" lenses!

OK a quick update on the tail lights..
I did some experimentation I’m both sets, and here are my end results..
The darker ones with the spider cracks. I had clear coated and came out nicely, considering their age and the cracks. However, the cracks are still noticeable from the top view.

The other set I wound up spraying a candy cranberry color on the lens that was most faded to try and even up the color to the opposite lens then one of spraying the other to refresh its color, which then now required a digital coat on the most feet in length as well, but the end result, speak for themselves check out the pictures..

I do plan on taking this set and have them clear coded as well.

Looks good and a definite improvement when dark. Am curious how they look with lights on. Were you able to apply the paint evenly enough the color is consistent or does the old uneven fading still show thru?

Was trying to load up more pics, but keeps stalling..,
When i get to my pc lster tonight ill try on my pc
