It seems they get better at night haha, why tint your lights black when you can go green

Actually...

I've done that before with Wesley's Bleach White. It might work on the 8... What's the worst that happens? The seals wont hold out moisture?

You might consider Simple Green first. That stuff is awesome.

Wow... if not rinsed out completely it could cause it to discolor even more or leave a white hazy film on the inside. Bleach will eat the paint and chrome inside. Not a good idea IMO.

The only real way would be to heat gun the lenses off and buff and polish them. It’s what I have to do with mine. I would take the time to do it rite.

Not gonna lie the whole baking/heating process scares the crap outta me considering how expensive these lights are. Like I said, would some CLR work best if I let it soak in there and rinse/ dry out for a day or so or would it ultimately come down to cracking them open?
