Many times over this has been covered.

Search for "yellow fever".

or just try, cut and polish, polish, toothpaste, brasso or there are products available especially for this.

Here are some links that might help you.

etc...

If it's actually moisture, pull the bulbs and get a hairdryer in there.

If it's oxidisation on the inside of the lense, aside from going to the trouble of pulling them apart etc...

replace them or live with it.

yeah i agree im a panel beater and many people ask how they can fix it polishing it is just quick fix you will find it will come back and some times worse it comes from the protective layer on the plastic wears away and sanding it will only take more layers away and as for the water on the inside of the head light well you may have a small leak in the headlight do as notapulsar said and dry the headlight out and look and see if you can find a leak

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
