They sell a polishing compound for that exact purpose at car parts places, heck I think Ive seen it at Wally World too.  I have tried it with inconsistent results, on one car it worked great, on my old ford truck it didnt seem to make any difference.  Worth a try then check Pinwall

       Tech at an R V place said toothpaste that claims to Polish yer teeth might work in some instances. My California original purple metal polish did a good job on my neighbors ford something or other. And B T W I did NOT use a power buffer Just polished out by hand. Let us know What ya come up with and How it werx Please! RIDE SAFE.

Get a Halo daymaker LED and Josh Chambers adapter bracket. Best upgrade ever and far cheaper than a replacement OEM lens...

 I have the guts from my bucket. But would still recommend Daniels advice.

I sell a Adapter Bracket which allows you to easily install an LED DayMaker into our beloved Valks. This is a cost saving upgrade. You yourself won't have replace the reflector housing, and the DayMaker will outlast more than 50+ halogen bulbs.

The benefits go on. The DayMaker uses less power, and puts out more light letting you see farther down the road at night. The light is more visible in the day making you easier to be seen during the day.

Email ValkyrieJosh@gmail.com if you are interested.
