Hi 
Just split a pair of headlights to turn into 'Depos' 
The only thing is, the indicator cover (the clear bit that goes in the silver insert that you spray) is rather yellow from how old it is.
Is there anyway to get it clear again or just shut up and put up with it?
Thanks in advance

There are two seperate bits on the headlight for the indicator, the bit that I'm on about goes in the silver insert and there is a orange cover behind that which is on the plastic backing.
Think I might have to take pictures as I'm really bad at explaining

Took a lot of effort I tell you!
Is it ok to take it all out?
I would get the chrome ones but I was thinking of selling them, or maybe keep them until I get another corsa?
