,to make them look nice and new i wet sand the lens with a fine 1000 grit sand paper and then a finer paper 1500 grit then i high speed polish the lens with compound and then high speed again with a glaze polish then wax them and they should be nice and new ,to clear them i un screwed the screw that holds the amber piece to the inside the lens then i just broke the amber piece into little pieces and remove ,i also made the high beam light yellow buy coloring the bulb with a yellow sharpie save me about 30bucks on some e bay high beam lights buy a little trick i learned,with the fogs i took the lens off with a heat gun retro fit some 95 es300 yellow fogs in the housing of the gs300 fogs ,u have to disassemble the es300 fogs n use only the fog projector only ,i used some washers n screws and i resealed them with a seam sealer we use in our body shop.hope i explained it well enough ,hope to see some one try a retro fit like this on the fogs,pics soon of the light up on the fogs thanks cl

Do you still have the regular fogs from the lexus gs? I wasn't quiet sure if you did haha. And Instead of waxing it, could i just spray clear coat right after it was hazing?
