Given that I constantly think about what to do next for the car, it was inevitable I would eventually turn my attention to the p/s tail light. There is nothing wrong with the assembly but the piece is older than the d/s unit - which is new. In the beginning the p/s lights looked better so I changed the older, cracked one on the left. The situation then reversed itself; now the right side fixture looked bad. A relative thing, of course.
I talked to the good folks at my local NAPA store after reading about possible fixes on BMW2002faq.com. They recommended a 3M product. Apparently you attach this special piece of sandpaper to a grinding pad, have at it, and presto! the tail lights become new again.
I was skeptical.
But I bought the product; it happened to be on sale. And I do like to grind things. After years of scouring wooden boats, fiberglass boats, furniture, and what-have-you, I have an affinity for the torturous activity.
To my great surprise, fifteen minutes worth of work made a real difference.

2) After
Were every other aspect of life so easy...
