    Is there a way to clean-up the bed light lenses? Mine are yellowed from sun/exposure. I've looked for replacement lights but the ones I have found come with a complete wiring kit which I don't need. Thank you.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    Headlight restoration kits might work. Not sure as it's probably a different plastic.

    It's probably yellow all the way though is my guess

    Probably. I think my best bet is to replace them...if I can find a set. Might end up at Toyota parts department.

    The yellowing is typical. New lenses would be a solution. You can try the restoration lense kit. The back to black spray from chemical guys will work on the faded bed. I recently used it and on the same material on my taco. Worked great, looks new and not sticky.

    The bed isn't as faded as it looks in the picture. I use a lot of Chemical Guys products...good stuff! The best thing I have found for black plastic trim is Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat. It makes black plastic look new and lasts a long time.

    I really like the cerakota but had the wipes. They are rather expensive and don’t last that long. I’ll try the liquid one.

    Sometimes toothpaste, the kind in the tube, works as it is a paste with a mild abrasive.
    Or just suck it up and replace the whole thing.
