Check ebay, there is a place sells the pair for 130. I had the same problem. I polished them and it helped a bit but actually only takes the yellow off. The reflective part inside was worn on mine so it only made for a clear dim light. New lights made the difference.  I considered used but found they went for nearly the same money and of course were just as old as what I had already.

Which ones get full of water?

The inner markers and corner lamps have holes in the bottom so water should drain out of them. If you're getting water in the headlights, they probably need the lenses resealed.

I'm on the process of cleaning mine up right now. Wet sanded the lenses with 1500 grit, then gonna clean them up with polish. They're already looking better and I've only done the sanding.

It doesn't show a pic. Is this just the front lense part or the whole bucket with the reflector inside?
