Are they supposed to be clear like the headlamps ? or should they be "frosted" / "translucent". There are no other X100s around here for me to compare with. Mine look translucent and I'm wondering if that's the way they are supposed to be or have the lenses fogged up over time .

If they are not supposed to be "foggy" is it possible to polish them like you can do with plastic headlamp lenses ?

 

Barry,

My 2005 XKR Coupe has Clear Lens and I have placed an H-! LED Bulb into the Base Reflector and it is very bright White when turned on! You have to use one of the short ones because of the reflector......I'm attaching a Photo of the Light but I don't have one with the Light on -- Sorry! Also, I don'tknow if you can polish the Lens.....Some of the LED H-1's come about 3" Long....My Reflector would not take it so I had to find one about 2" long.....Works good with NONE of the LED Warning Signals! Photo also shows my Daytime Driving Lights, which are on!

Should be clear. They build up haze on the inside though, how-to here: Fog lights

 

Crystal clear. This is my 2005 XK8 4.2-S:

Thanks very much folks . I guess mine have fogged over time. I'll put this on my 'to do' list
