Do you know shops that restore tail lights

I want to install sequential tail lights on my 95 Formula and bought a pair of used assemblies at E-town swap meet a couple of weeks ago. I want to leave the stock assemblies 'unmolested'.

After cleaning them up at home last week I realized that 'dirty moisture' got between the outside lens cover and the red tail lights – they’re cosmetically unacceptable but appear functionally fine.

Does anyone know of a shop (does not have to be local) that restores tail lights (in the same way that certain shops restore original dash gauges). I started looking on the web but not having much luck.

Much Obliged

Tom if you send me some pics we can probably clean them up for you. I'm assuming the housing will need to be seperated and the insides of the lenses restored?

Hardcore, because the pic are about 1 mg each, I will only post two pics - the right side which are considerabley worse that the left - but both would need to be cleaned up. The stock ones are on the car and you can see that the 'honeycomb' is black versus the ugly ones which are grey-brown



Thanks

I'll have to check out the pics when I get home later....the firewall here blocks them for some reason.
