If you don't like yellow, just paint it whatever color you'ld rather have hee hee. I'm thinking there is a product out that takes out the yellowing, I may be dreaming it. Call your local auto parts store, and ask them if such a product exsists, if not you may just have to replace it. As far as the fog lights, you could wire them direct to a toggle switch. I have seen a how to somewhere that addresses this problem on other vehicles, but I can't remember where I saw it, I think it was teamzx2.com concerning the fog lights on the ford zx2. Go to teamzx2.com, and use the search function, even though there differient vehicles, the principal would be the same, sorry I couldn't be more help.

Blue Coral plexiglass polish and a buffing pad on a dremel or cordless drill...

if you have the time venture on into midas muffler they have a package that restores your lights back to the original glare. Now from my understanding the yellow haze is a combination of dust water and all other crap that has formed on the lense over time and heat from the light itself.....

brainfart has the right solution, but I've just used a fine rubbing compound. If you post the year of your truck, I may be able to direct you to a "how-to" for the fog light question.

It'd be on the outside. Do a search for 98 Foglights and you should find a link to keep your foglights on while the brights are on. I think PKSAM was the guy that spearheaded that.
