Ok so after washing my car today which I've only had a few weeks. I noticed my fog light(DRL) lens was yellow ish and that the bulbs were missing.

I since went and bought bulbs but anyone tell me why they're this color.

Looks like it was under water, my guess is a water leak. Is the harness and socket still there? If so the previous owner removed the bulbs for whatever reason and never installed new ones leaving the sockets unplugged from the lens letting water leak into the housing causing the discoloration. The only fix would be to replace them, I doubt they could be cleaned.

Any idea where I could get that at, or would I have to get all new fog light housing?

There not fogs but DRL's you can get them from your dealer.

They are cheap enough to not be worth the trouble of trying to clean.
