Dull Headlights

I spent $7.99 at Wal-Mart on Mguiar's PlastX.  It takes 5 minutes to rub on and wipe off both headlights.  It needs to be repeated about every 3-4 months, but it is quick and easy.  Now I can see if I drive at night, which I try to avoid, because happy hour starts at 5:00 someplace.

[size=14][face=Arial]Can you still get replacement lenses?  I just noticed that one of mine has a broken flange at the hold down nut.  It just kind of flops there.  Thanks, Mike[/face][/size]

Richard And Babs Ames:
Most Motorhome lenses are from car lights. Get the DOT number and check with any body shop.

Michael Kauffman:
[size=14][face=Arial]I found my headlight.  It was a 87'-91' Ford Branco or F-Series.  I was confused because all of the pictures online show the whole headlight including the rear bracket and turn signal.  Beaver only used the clear plastic lens and mounted it directly to the fiberglass.  

It's not even the same turn signal.  I hope that I never have to track that down.

On the other headlight I used Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit (it has the Plastx in the kit).  It worked great, looks like new.

Thanks, Mike[/face][/size]

Bill Sprague:
I used the 3M version a few months ago with good results.  But, I need to do it again.

No need to reply, but if it is such common problem that both 3M and McGuires make a product to fix it, why are we using plastic headlights in the first place?
