Here is a picture of the passenger side tail light lens for my 69 Valiant. There are two cracks and it looks like the weather has gotten into them much like a windsheild stone chip or crack. Can this be repaired and how? Or does anyone have a nice one to sell me. Thank you

I've used a clear epoxy (test it on a junk tail light or plastic first, to make sure it's 'clear enough') and then sanded the surface with some very fine wet sanding paper (start with 220 or 400 and work your way higher) and then sprayed the lenses with plastic clear coat.

They look brand new after that and you can't even tell they've been repaired. Takes a good bit of time and alot of elbow grease to get a good result though
