Default GLASS DISCOLOURATION HELP

Hi all,

Got a bit of a random problem, but still one someone may have the solution for.

I've recently replaced the fog lamps on my work horse (pug 306 ph1 Dturbo) & the glass in one of the new fog lamps is an off white / yellow kind of colour.

I think its just through old age that its discoloured, but neverthless looks daft when next to the nice & shiny clear passenger side one.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how i could clean the drivers one back to be being clear like the other?

So far i've had suggestions of Acetone & a mirror glass polish (like a fine t-cut)?

cheers all & as always any help much appreciated
