ok, two questions for this, because I'm going to have to do it soon, 1) is there anyway i can get the ford deep forest green color in spray paint form, (Black on that color i dont think would look to good, but if anyone has any pics to prove me wrong, post em up ) and the second questions is is there anyway to make the red lights themselves look better? or am i just stuck with how they look now with some scratches on them?

I painted mine on the car, just taped up the area with newspaper. You will never find a paint match for our color at the autoshop. I have tried to a year to find it. The black looks good on mine with the black bumper inserts, black and tan interior and half a black bra on the front. At least I think it looks good.

No I dont have any pics of mine since I painted them. As far as making the lenses clearer go to any parts store that has a big car wash/cleaning center. Theres this stuff by mothers that cleans plastic parts. Makes head lights look clearer and the plastic over your spedo, the stuff works good.

I used really fine grit sand paper, then I polished them with some compound.

I used this method on my headlights. They went from yellow to clear... well as clear as stock will get

I did it on my head lights a few weeks ago and i'm shocked on how much better they are. I only had time to do one side of my tail lights today and the side I did is so much brighter when my parking lights are on. I still can't belife how much crap came off of my head lights and tail light when I did them.
