Has anyone had any yellowing on the lenses with time? My wing kit is circa 2008 and just now fitting them. They seem to have a yellowish tint. Thinking I may just get new ce bailey's. Not sure of the storage environment prior to me aquiring them.

Not that I can tell. Mine are about as old as yours and no yellowing noted--yet.

Although I sold my stock tips and lenses, they are from a late 2000's kit and yes, seemed to have a yellowish hue to them. I'm not sure how they were stored before I bought the wing kit from it's original owner, but I just had them up in the garage storage rack, so no extra UV exposure, etc.

There are plexi polishing products available at local auto parts stores. Lens aging is inevitable, even on cars.

Thanks. I think I'm just going with the baileys. I'm betting they are a little thicker and definitely clearer.
