i am going back to my original OEM turn signals. i find they compliment the ST202 tails with the amber bulb diffuser in the clear casing. i sanded them with 3M Scotch Brite (red) and polished with NOVUS #2 polishing compound. i may still have to do it a second time to get the results i need, but i ran into a problem. after i installed them on the Celi they fogged over inside. can i "bake" the moisture out without melting them at let's say-- 150°F? what should i use to seal them after?

you could, but remember that without a place for the water to go then it'll take a long time, a long time that the plastic may not have.

I'd remove the lense so that you could see in there, clean it up, and have a 100% fresh new (and done right) seal. Soldering iron should knock it right out biggrin.gif
