Tail Lights
I just got my s2000 today, loved the hour long drive I had to my house! but when I got home I noticed that the passenger side tail light has dirt in it, and I tried to search about it but couldn't really find anything, how can I fix this? or if you guys can link me the thread please do so! Thanks!

My driver tail has the same thing.
The only way I know of to fix it would be to bake the taillight the same way people do the headlights. A few people have done taillights, but most say its a lot more difficult and easy to break the housing when you're trying to pull it apart.
I personally just bought a new taillight and will be finally getting around to replacing it this weekend.

when you stick it in the oven it seems to get cleaner haha, so glossy and clear.
then we used yellow headlight remover and buffed it and it was sicker than the jdm clear housing. sooo clear.

He's talking about the taillight, not the headlight. Most people say the headlight is easy due to the shape, but the taillight is more challenging.

headlights are a bit tricky but once you do it, its simple.
tail lights are easier to take out and its the same thing, but easier in my opinon.

The lenses break very easily when trying to separate from the housing. I broke 3 of them when doing my custom tail light project....it can get expensive.
