After several years, my clear parking light lenses
(Gordon?s very nice replacements) have begun fogging
on the inside upper surface (and possibly a softening
of the plastic). Interesting that it is the upper
surface and not the bottom where water would pool, if
any seeped inside.

Has anyone had a similar experience and discovered a
fix to restore clarity such as soaking in diluted
vinegar, olive oil, ammonia, or something?

Thanks,
--LarryS

Have you tried CLR. We use it to remove scale from chrome, paint,
front blinker/parking light lenses. It may work on yours too.

Turned out the plstic was softening for some reason,
not any hard water scale or calcium. I tried paint
thinner (no results), vinegar (no results), acetone
(too hot & tried to melt them more).

Finally used some scotch brite to "sand" interior and
a knife to scrape a bit. Finally used 3 coats of
clear lacquer inside & out to seal the plastic. At
first I thought the lacquer was melting the plastic as
the acetone, but they dried well and have returned to
their clear, sharp looking selves. The lacquer coats
should provide on-going protection.

Somethings just work better than planned!

Thanks for the input --LarryS
