I'm cleaning the insides next weekend ;)

Most annoying thing for me is that the glass on the inner spots has gone all cloudy! Not 100% sure on how to remedy this. I'm going to strip them down too and see if glass polish on the inside does anything, if not, out comes the abrasive :grin:

it'll probably just be condensation/dirt buildup.  Its pretty difficult to clean them without leaving watermarks on the inside of the glass!  If you can get something with a rag on the end thru the hole that should help polish up the marks once dry.  Just watch the reflector, the foil coating on them is usually fragile so try to avoid touching it!

Doesn't really matter now, but i have had the different sized plugs too. I think it's just a year thing, they were going onto an 84 car and the grille was from a 91 car.
