    I have a 1995 512M and the square shaped fog lights, within the headlight housing, are beginning to turn yellow. Is there any way to clean them or restore them to a bright clear gleam or is the only solution to buy new ones? Thank you

    I would like to see a picture if possible. If it is what I am thinking I don't think there is a solution. You may have to have the lens replaced and re-sealed. I think the discoloration if from humidity and moisture. I will know for sure once I see pics. It may be faded from the sun and heat as well.

    Ironically my 512tr fog lights are discolored white on the inside. My Porsche buddy said it happens to his and all you have to do is take the cover off and clean them out. I'm going to try this weekend and shall report back. Not sure aboout your yellow discoloration though.

    I think stevef in the UK had to replace one of his entire headlight modules for some reason, they are VERY hard to find...
