I have been driving the truck around with the light half filled with puddle water. I'll let you know what works for me. Hopefully I can get rid of the yellow stain.   CJ SZPILA (Crash05) Member Username: Crash05 Post Number: 225 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2003 - 04:13 am:    I did this last week. I just removed the light, pryed the lens off drained it. Watch out for the stink when you pop the lens off. Take the whole light apart, ever the reflector. Dry everything off. I used a clear silicone to reseal the lens, every thing seem to be fine so far. It not that hard just takes a little time. Good luck.   Dean Chrismon (Chrismonda) Member Username: Chrismonda Post Number: 114 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 10:55 am:    Christopher try a strong degreaser like greased lightning or purple stuff. That should take care of the yellow stain.   Kristopher March (Apexdisco) Member Username: Apexdisco Post Number: 162 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 08:42 pm:    I followed CJ and Dean's words of wisdom and got my light fixed. It was nasty in there. I just sprayed the inner plastic with some degreaser and let it sit for a minute and then hosed everything off. I got rid of the yellow stain. Now, I'm just waiting for the silicon to completely set and then I will attempt to re-assemble the fog light tommorrow afternoon. The bulb appears to still be good shape, so I'm going to reuse it. On another note, Advanced Auto Parts told me that the bulbs for the fog lights have been discontinued. Anyone know anything about this?   peter ziesmann (Peterz) New Member Username: Peterz Post Number: 13 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 08, 2003 - 04:51 pm:    Did mine as well- used brasso to polish the "fog" out of the front of the plastic lens-
