Hi Jack,
Re: tail lights....forget all that tape and shinny AL
surfaces...When at Randy's this last winter,
I had the same problem with the dim rear lights. A couple of the housings
where either cracked or
broken and we did surgery with some glass and resin.......The "reflective"
area of the housing was thoughly
cleaned and prepped and painted with this ultra shinny CR paint that dried
to a mirror finish. Looks like
a factory mirror on these new molded headlight assemblies....and the lights
are bright!!!!
