Brake Fluid all over the paint!

If your tail lights have the surrounding type of gaskets they can be reused, carefully peel them off (a hair dryer helps) and then glue them to the new tail lights . Because of the heat they are exposed to I dont recommend using 3M weatherstrip adhesive, A silicone based clear sealer/adhesive, used sparingly, will work well

OUCH! That hurt.........Placed the order for everything from Sunset, reflector, taillights, gaskets, for $950. Back end of the car should looks 1000x better now. Is there anything to prevent them from fading etc I can do? Ive seen posts about scotch guard paint, UV protective film, etc. Any definitive solution?

I think it l;ooks better with the gaskets, its a tight fit so you may want to use a little soapy water and a credit card to slide them in 'I use Aerospace 303 on them once a month, truth be told the new ones are worse than the Original SWF and nothing will stop them from fading although I feel ,much of the pink tinging and cracks are from engine / exhaust heat
Please post when you get the new stuff, a few years back I ordered new ones and they were made in France, I am wondering if that is still the case

Nice, new lights will make the rear look new again!
If your car doesn’t sit outside for extended periods the new lights shouldn’t fade. I’m not aware of any products that will protect it from UV if it does see extended sunlight other than a car cover.

My car sits in the garage most of the time. Its a one car garage and its pretty tight. I usually just drive it in, turn the engine off, close the door and off I go, Maybe I should let it cool off a bit outside before putting it away to keep the lights from getting heat damaged. Hopefully removing the cat will help reduce the heat coming from the rear of the car.

Afshin, Aerospace 303 is SPF 40 for your car, seems to work on the lenses, its great on dash, rubber and vinyl
Mystert When you get the new lenses they will be great, its just that they dont hold up well like some other brands and you needed new ones anyhow, we all have to bite the bullet on these at least once

I’m also a bit surprised that the new lenses are even worse than the older ones, you would think they’d figure our the formula and get it right the second time! Something I do after every drive is open the hood to let the heat escape more quickly rather than trapping it, time will tell if it helps.
