Foggy Signals Need Advice
I did a search on this one for a bit and I can't seem to find a clear and concise answer, so please don't hate me for asking.
My car looks really great body-wise IMO. It's got a very recent paint job and new stripes along with clear corners and the red Z28 front grill with aftermarket fogs. The only thing that really tends to make the front end look bad is the turn signals/parking lights.
Camaros seem to have this chronic problem and it's something that I have never seen repaired in a tech article or anything like that. I was just wondering if anyone could give or find me good instructions for fixing my foggy turn signals.
I don't even know how to get them off the front of the car, I am worried that I am going to break them if I fart around too much.

I would buy some new ones and then do this. https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...ensation.shtml
To remove you have to get behind them from under the car and use a 10mm socket and a ratchet.
Found the link to repair your old ones. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/186985/6
Hope this what you were looking for.

or did you mean to make them clear agian like this? drilling a hole in them wont simply clear them up, i believe its the plexiglass material thats wore out and faded. I simply cut the fronts off, took the plastic reflector out, and then belt sanded the front so its even, then used polyurathane glue and put new plexiglass on and let it sit over night, and also sprayed 'duplicolor' chrome paint in.
