    How to clean my foglight lenses?

    Is there a way? My driver's side light is yellowed a little bit and looks terrible. Both are bad, but that one's worse. I could get new ones, but I'd rather feel like I am useful in some way. Any help here?

    Well, they're not that much. Maybe I'll wait until a bulb blows and get french fogs... I think they'd look nice since the front of my car is so monochromatic.

    It probably turned yellow because there is a leak. Condensation or water inside can cause them to discolor. If you remove the fog light (like you are changing the bulb) take off the cap on the back holding in the bulb. There is a rubber seal in there that keeps it water tight. If it is dry, damaged, or out of place, the light will leak and discolor.
