Default Anything i can do about these yellowing bumper lights???

The bumper lights on my turbo have turned yellow (got the car this way) and as you can see, it is quite an eye sore. Anything i can do about this? Or at the least is there anywhere i can just order new lenses, instead of having to buy whole new lights??

I don't think the lenses are available separately. Have you considered trying a headlight restoration kit on them? That may allow you to polish out the oxidized surface layer and return them to their original clear form.

Got the shock of my life when, after owning a 993 where lens replacement was about $75 each, now it's the whole shebang.

New light fixture, about $850 without electronics.

Mine was busted, but for a cleaning, might try

Edit: I see you mean the fog/parking lights, not the headlights. So replacement cost not applicable, but cleaning kit maybe still.
