so i have some old (stock) tail lights and they stated looking crapy, so i decided that i needed new ones but didnt wanna spend money on new ones just yet
so i took them off and cleared them, i think they almost look brand new!!
is there some place that sells brighter bulbs that would make it look brighter and would fit in the stock housing??

Looks good man! I did the same haha. I wet sanded all the imperfections out of the old clearcoat with 2000 grit then hit it with 3 coats of clear. Look like new! I never minded the stock tails, they flow nicely with our trucks

Look pretty good. Never really thought about doing that... Good Job..

I wonder can that be done to the front if you sand all the yellow off and then clear coat them???
