One of my fog lite lenses has condensation in it and is getting that yellowish discoloration.
Anyone have tips on getting it clear again or should I just buy a new one?
Thanx

This happened to me and it turned out that the discoloration was rust on the inside of the metal parts. The metal back of the foglight asembly had rust completely through. I just replaced mine, it's easier. look in the For Sale section for good deals on the foglights. I got mine for $28.00 and and shipping. Good luck. Brian

Mark,
3 options here, possibly a 4th.
A. Get new housing from Toyota. Not cheap, I think Toyota wants over $100 just for the housing alone. Complete assembly (trim ring, housing, & rear bucket assembly is near $200).
B. Get a used one from junkyard (not easy, try finding one in a yard that does not have a cracked lens, or it's rusting inside).
C. Break the seal on the glass lens, remove & refurbish the inside. Topic has been covered here on the forums somewhere
D. I have a spare housing that I can sell. I can bring it to the Baxters meet in 3 weeks. $20. No lens cracks or yellowing inside.

I will take mine out this weekend and look it over.
Did you just have the housing or is it the whole assembly?

Mark,
It is indeed, just the housing. Possible it may have a H3 bulb in it.
