Your signature picture is about 3000 x's larger than it's supposed to be.

You sanded the headlights? Mine are all foggy looking (outside, not moisture)
Does sanding them improve this?

I bought meguairs plastic cleaner, and then polisher, but they didn't come yet... What grit sand paper did you use, and it has to be wet right?

How about clear or smoked side markers, is that the tag light?

See threads about this on the Maintenance/Detailing Forum. There's at least two of these write-ups on how to have "like new" lights.

Definitely not by posting the same message in every thread.... at least find ONE thread related to your question...

Are you looking for purchasing information or specs?

OK I've had my 2000 for about 2 months now and I haven't come close to getting any real mods yet. I did the GAB and AE mod but that's it.

Oh, and I must have missed something. What is the VIAS fix?

Yeah, 1200 of the 1286 were post in the 3rd gen forums. Just recently picked up the 2000 and the 3rd gen didn't have VIAS problems, just VTC's
