Ohio, my Mustang did the same thing with the aftermarket headlights. I just peeled it all off, and it still looks OK. However, it doesn't see a lot of UV rays anymore and I think that has something to do with the longevity. I did see a video a while back about this very issue, and the guy just sprayed some Krylon clear on them after removing the old crap.
... (snippage)...
Ohio... not too sure how you are on shocks for the Stang, but KYB is running a promo right now. I just got all 6 shocks for mine for under 200 and they have a 50 dollar rebate. I need to take pics of the box tops when they arrive and to send the receipt as PDF, and BAM... 50 bones. They are the Excel-G's which I believe were the shocks Steve Saleen was using.

The Tokico Illuminas went on mine in '08, but with less than 2500 miles per year of use, they still have a lot of life left in them. That looks like a good deal, though. Thanks for thinking of me.
Returning the favor: Costco has Mobil1 for $28.69 per six pack and free shipping. $5.00 per quart? I'll take some of that action. Actually, I did. I picked up a pack of each, 0W20, 5W20, and 10W30 today while in town. (I should have held off on two of them, and saved a buck or tow in tax.) I might get a couple more to put on the shelf at this price.

Ohio, Although I have no idea of what the meaning of your post is my sister is here and in one of her moods and your post is the most sensible thing I've seen or heard for the last hour and a half. Thank you.
White, Can't say if it's another browser thing on my computer but your link goes to a blank page.

Well, I'm glad I could brighten your day, River! I tried to post from my computer, and it's giving me the "Your post must contain at least xx characters" crap again, so as a test I just banged on the keyboard to see if it would post. It did. Then it wouldn't let me go back and edit it. 
I had to go to my phone and re-enter the text you now see above. It seems like anything that has or had an image in the post triggers this problem. It happens on an Acura forum I'm on, too. No idea what it might be. Probably one of the Chrome extensions I'm running...

Thanks White. I'll need some UV protection, so I might have some automotive clear put into a spray bomb, or maybe have a local shop shoot them I have the OEM lights to slap in if I need to.

I just bought 20 quarts of Kirkland oil (Made by Warren Petroleum). Did you know Costco ships quite a bit of their stuff for free? The oil ships free, directly from Warren, BTW. Then last night I realized that I have 8 five quart jugs of 5W-20 synthetic now, but no 10W-30 dino oil. So I had to go over to Wally World and grab some of that and a couple FL1A's.

I think I am finally sick of moving things around the shop that I am going to Ebay.... I need more space, so the process has begun. Starting to clean some things up now. I used to sell a lot on Ebay, and I hope their damn fees aren't worse now.
