It's the actual housing itself that's dirty/hazed most likely. I'm not sure about cleaning the actual reflector though, they're very fragile and ghey! Upgrade to some 06s!!
oh man, i bought those clear corners like a month after i bought the car.......the same time i bought the clear front bumper reflectors...........now some 5 years later im gonna get around to it........LOL

The 06's don't interest me.....don't really see a point........

Damn $2k for a clutch holy smokes. Does it come with a new flywheel as well? Guess with all that power you gotta pay to play. I think I've asked before but do you have wife/kids?

Jason-ZYA try this first before you opening it up.

look online at "Vegas strip" maps..........you will see at a major intersection on each of the four corners is MGM, New York/New York, Excalibur and Tropicana....

Either of those four are good cause there are over head street cross walks to go from one to the other.....plus street side shops and stores, food, to easily get too...

also, there is a monorail train that goes to the luxor, mandalay bay, etc from there as well......so its a nice spot..

I went recently and stayed at the Bellagio. Unless you have multiple people staying in one room / splitting cost really isn't worth it. Caesars is really nice as well and it's across from the Bellagio.

Jason ya I need to borrow her. Probably this Friday, you has work?

Thanks for the offer Chris! But that's a bit out of the way
