Does anyone know if there is a product available to clean this or the inside? Just looking for some options other than shelling out 300 bucks for new lenses. Thanks.

My friend used it to polish my foggy turn signals on my Camaro and they came out fantastic. I need to find it so I can do my dad's Taurus.

Yup , the kind you use to polish out dull paint . Use a mild compound to polish out the foggy look , then use a plastic polish to keep it looking nice . ~~~~~~~ Phil Black & Tan 2000 SVT Contour #2137 of 2150 35,000 miles & counting !

The Ford dealer said that some kind of "tint" was peeling off. I tried everything to get rid of it, but only replacing the lense did the job. 1999 Contour SVT #1966/2760, Silver Frost/Midnight Blue Koni Kit, Mille Miglia MM-S rims, B&M shifter, Stazi mesh, SFCs, optimized Y-pipe & TB, SS break lines, K&N drop-in, Infinity Kappa speakers, MTX amp/sub
