Re: Where to buy the Turn Lights Housing...?

NOS ones are gonna be tricky to find. The ebay crystal cut ones look nice, but clash with the headlights. You can always polish them out with one of the $10-$20 3M polishing kits. Just need a drill to do it.

Re: Where to buy the Turn Lights Housing...?

many do not know that early ones are different . remove your's , put in a sink with hot water & dish soap . slosh around untill inside is good & clean . rinse well , let drain & dry , repeat as needed . (make sure lwr. drain holes are good for condensation drainage) then wet sand with very fine grit & polish . has worked for me . good luck .

Thirdgenranch, 1AAuto, Hawks just off the top of my head.
Articwhitez did a " how to " using a dremel & some polish-- looked great when he was done.
Also, IDK if it would work on this type of plastic but there are a couple vids on YouTube using toothpaste & window cleaner to de-haze headlights plastics.

I just used the 3M kit to do a set of headlight lenses on a Grand Am and they turned out great! The key is not to rush through it and take your time.

none of those companies has what he needs


Anybody posting here needs to notice the OP has an 84. those can be much harder to find than the 85-92 style. If you really know somebody that has some 82-84 style turn signals that are available, links would be helpful

Are they still plastic, or are they glass?
