On my 68, the DS fog lamp looks to be fairly rusty on the inside and the lens is a little yellowed. Is there anyway to have the fog lamps refinished? I'd like to keep as many original parts on the car as possible. If I can't... replacements?

The lenses can be removed and cleaned. GENTLY pull the lens from the reflector. The lens is attached to the reflector with window putty and it pulls right off if you go slowly. I have lots of stray Lucas parts so just let me know what you need.

That sounds good, I'll see what I can do. What do you recommend for cleaning?
They are glass so Windex, or any glass cleaner, should clean them right up. Any yellowing should just be from a film that builds up over time on the interior face of the lens. The putty also yellows over time and that makes the edges look bad.
Bon-Ami cleanser also works well on glass. It's non-abrasive so it doesn't scratch. If, for some reason, you can't get rid of the yellow let me know and I'll send you some good lenses.
