I see your point...that would be cool if we could get them clean....like the 01...I guess all we can do is change to 01 bumper with clear fogs

Another idea is to remove the bumper and give the existing fog lens covers a "cleared" look by wetsanding and polishing the insides of the covers. This is a technique some of the SC300/400 owners do to their headlights to update the look

Yeah it can be a bit complicating and time-consuming but think about the end result... it'll look awesome! Here's a link to one SC owner's experience in clearing his headlights:

I just suggested that method after reading about it from the SC owner's perspective. If it can be done by an SC owner, I'm sure it'll work for an ES owner too
