Try Meguiars, it worked really well on my old '94 tail lights.

ive always thought about tinting it... just the top trunk portion of the housing, not the actual light part.

It doesnt seem like the '01+ crowd has a problem with this but all the 99-00 guys do... I wonder what the deal is...Mine looks like ass, as well.

The Bullitt Archive has it all my friends:

Also, if you use 303 Aerospace Protectant, it blocks UV so you would not have this problem

I don't think it's confined to the 99-00 crowd. Mine looks pretty crappy too. I'm thinking about replacing it with the same from 50resto.com.

The LED doesn't look too bad, but I'd like to see it on a car before final judgement.

Its because the 01+ spoiler shades the brake light so well. On the 99-00 cars it's kinda just out there.


I want to see what that Black LED brake light looks like in person. It doesn't look all that bad. Might look good on a black car.

I'm trying to find a spare brakelight so i can retrofit a LED board inside all the way across...but guys want $70+ for brake lights on ebay!

Not sure, but it states that it can be used on marine plastics and plastic windows. Never tried it on plexy.

Dont waste time trying to save it, buy a new one from ford,
and move your wing back 2 inchs for shade, 1hour labor, easy.

2 nuts to take off old piece, take old harness off old piece, put it on new brake light plug in the LEDs in existing sockets and the bolt it back on. Pretty straight forward!!

It was the $79 on ebay

I'm thinking about tinting alittle bit to match the taillights...any suggestions?
