Tail light change

You can also try a new product from Mequires I believe that will polish the lenses.

Mike,

My neighbor polished his plastic headlight covers on his S.O. B. last week with a $20.00 kit he got at harbor Freight and they look pretty good. That might be simpler t than replacements. Hope to see you guys at M.B. next month.

I am going to replace the tail lights on the Texas Minivan. Mine work fine, but are scratched and not as shiny as new. As I understand it, the 91 WB40 Wanderlodge uses a Volvo 740 (89-92? tail light).

The Bird is in a shop about 5 miles away, so I have not inspected them to see how they are installed yet. Are they a sealed one-piece unit? Or is the lens separate from the bulb holder?

Anything special to be aware of when swapping these out? Any trimming or connection issues? If it is a sealed unit, I assume it is just pop the bulbs and connectors out and swap the tail light body?

Just checking before looking for and buying replacements.

Thanks for any inputs.
