You would have to bake it and take it apart and clean it that way or just buy new ones. Personally I would try to get new ones.

The light must not be sealed if there is discoloration inside IMO. Maybe new is the way to go. Good Luck :)

well it might be on the outside, i just noticed that they look yellow and it wouldn't wipe off so i assumed it to be on the inside! i want to try cleaning them first and if that doesn't help then i will go new!

I use 3M rubbing compound.
It took me 2-3 min on each side by hand.
No machine. No buffing.
