Good to know! I've never done a real serious job involving sanding them down so I was going strictly on my experience with polish only. I had been told that certain lights, like those on the w210 cars and certain domestic vehicles, were made from a different type of plastic that was not save-able past a certain point.

I'm going to have to experiment with some junk lights and various grits of sand paper. Lord knows I'm not afraid to sand anything.
