#18153 of 26365 josterholt - yellowing. by kosh_2258 May 27, 2002 (6:44 am)
Are the lenses transparent but yellow, or are they hazy and yellow?   Have you owned the car all along or did you buy it used? Have you (or someone) installed a vinyl headlight protection kit (like X-PEL)?   If the plastic is clear but yellowed then your only option may be replacing the assemblies because I don't think you'll get the yellowing out. If the finish is sandblasted then polishing it will help. If you (or someone) installed a headlight protection vinyl then removing it will take care of the problem. The cheap stuff will yellow because it doesn't have UV protection.   Several products exist to polish plastic, one I know of is called NOVUS that works great but might be hard to find. It's designed for polishing plastics like lexan and polycarbonate.

How about if you Zaino your mother-in-law? Make sure to wash her in Dawn first!

I have heard that regular toothpaste can be used to polish certain plastics (it seems to have just the right amount of abrasives) BUT I myself have not tried this. But for the price (zero) you may want to try it on a small spot and see what happens. If it is so bad that you are considering replacing the lenses I guess you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!   Keep us posted...
#18157 of 26365 plastic polishing by easyrider300m May 27, 2002 (5:12 pm)
I have used white polishing compound made for car paint--(not the red stuff)----if it works on paint without scratching, it makes sense it should be fine enough to use on plastic---Im not sure but I think Simoniz makes it----should be available in most auto parts stores--I believe it comes in a green and white can---the yellow may be through and through the plastic so I am not sure this will work--this is mainly to take out fine scratches-----I have used it on plastic watch crystals with good luck---

Hope the little tip shed some light on your situation, even though I thought it was help, of course someone had to tell me to get a life! Boy, the M boys are being nice today I see...!   Good luck and happy Memorial Day everyone!

I was just curious...while washing my M today I saw this grimey paper sticking out under the wheel near the axle on the front drivers side. I pulled it out (looks like it's seen some serious heat!). It's a label with bar codes and most of it I can make out. It says Deep Slate, Chrysler 300 Front... something. Has VIN, ECN and a part number (ORW52VAWAE). I figure it's just a part label, but must be important...also has the date 9/10/98 at 12:22:39 pm. My car was built on 9/15/98 at 12:51pm (this is off the label inside the door). Is this maybe the engine or transaxle?
#18160 of 26365 And speaking of washing the M... by blonda May 27, 2002 (6:08 pm)
It's been pretty much clear blue skies today. M looks nice and shiney. Weatherman says it's going to rain starting about 3am tomorrow morning. Great. Just in time for the dirty road grime to get all over the car. 8-( (hopefully he's wrong...usually his half the time anyway)
#18161 of 26365 Easy & Cheap Mod by glennbp May 27, 2002 (6:12 pm)
Last night when I got in my M in total darkness, I noticed that the interior lights were awfully bright, too bright - all 8 of them! Today I picked up 4 194B blue bulbs and replaced the bulbs in the 2 overhead console map lights and also the upper rear lights where the assist handles are. I left the front and rear door lights alone primarily for safety reasons. I know blue light isn't to everyone's liking, but it really cooled down the harshness and adds a nice effect. I liked it so much that I added a thin 4" blue neon tube just behind the overhead console. I simply spliced it into the left map light so that it comes on automatically or I can turn it on manually by pressing the light. It's bright enough to read by, but gives off a beautiful blue glow. Anyway, the whole deal was under $20.00 and took all of a half hour. Those bulbs, as well as the neon, come in many colors, so have fun if you wish!

you promised in the past to stop discussing the problems you had with the 300M that you sold due to rattles and other problems etc which worsened after you nearly totalled your car----you no longer own the lemon M so while you are welcome here, I would think you would have more interest in the board relating to that fantastic quiet trouble free ugly plastic Avalanche TRUCK that you now own.   So how bout keeping your promise ---most people here already know you were disatisfied with your lemon M so I dont think it needs repeating.   And have a nice night Easyrider300M
