I'm pretty sure it's been discussed on here already that some TGPs did come with glass ones.  Someone else also found by accident that brake cleaner does wonders on the yellowing of the headlights.   :shock:

so does Brake Fluid really work???

i have a product called Glass X from McGuiers that works wonders also..

but i think im going to get glass ones....

Wipe them of with brake cleaner and use Mequiar's cleaner and polish on them.

The 89's had glass and the 90's had glass up to a certain point.

what do you mean up to a certain point??? Like some of the 90's had glass headlights and some didnt?  :?

Around halfway through the year they went to plastic.

Nothing much here, like i have said i am glad to be here, the w-body boards have plenty of info but i was looking for a place more focused on just the TGP. And I think i found it!  :D  :D

What the hell is a TGP?  :?

TSTE = Turbo STE

LMAO!! :spit:  It was a joke, Jim!   Cuz...korinko said he wanted a site devoted to the TGP...and he thought he found it....so....I was like...yeah....you know?   :silly:

I never knew that some TGP had plastic headlights as both of mine are '89 and have glass ones.  If I had plastic ones I would have changed them as there are a ton of '88-'89 regular GPs in yards. 8)

Hey skalor, I need a complete 89 setup including lights, fogs, and corner lights? Any in the j/y's around you?

Only, the headlights are actually glass, not the fogs or corner lights.  I just wanted to make sure we were square on what you want if a I make a run soon.   For everything it shouldn't be over $30 if I can find everything.  I should be going in a week or so, so I'll keep you updated.

Yeah, I know only the headlights are glass. I want the whole setup cause of the black border the 89's had.

The black border usually wears off from the wind and other elements.  Both of my '89s had the black mostly worn away as did my '90 Olds Ciera.

Yeah but the fogs and corner lights are plastic and it doesn't wear off. I'm going to repaint the headlights anyway.

i can vouch for the glass one i had to get 9 stiches due to the casting ears being chipped and i was waxing the car and ran my had down the hood very fast using the clay bar and it went off the front and i fllowd it down trying to catch and sliced 3 fingers

Can you get pics? I am looking for the whole setup from an 88 or 89.

i don't have a camera but i may be able to borrow one from someone next time.

It would be greatly appreciated.

my TGP had plastic headlights .....but i got a set of glass ones out of one of the local j/y's cost me 35$ and man it was worth it they look so much better!  i'll have to try that brake cleaner or fluid?   lol  one guy said lceaner the next guy said fluid,  i have also heard of toothpast being used.....  and i can get another set of glass ones for anybody that wants them :D

For the plastic headlights, try Blue Coral's Plastic Polish.. And work it in good.. i've used it successfullyon the Fogs and the corner turn signals.... They look like BRAND NEW

McGuires Plastex works great on plastic headlights and lenses also....
