Plastic inside Headlights is "burned"
 
Hello, I guess it's a common thing that the plastic inside the boxster headlights has become "yellow", which I guess it's a result of the heat from the Lights?
Any fix for that?

Can you post pictures?

Make sure the bulbs are correct. You don't want that to be the potential cause.

If it's the outside of the lights, possibly you can re-finish??

Are you 100% certain the yellowing is on the inside. Typically, bulbs that are too high intensity tend to leave local 'burned' areas on the inside of the lens.

My 01S lens had yellowed. It was the interaction of the sun and the outer sealant. I went to a recommended shop, who ground the outer layer off and resealed the lenses. They look brand new.

Pictures would help folks advise you
