    I noticed a lot of aftermarket 240 lenses do that. It's the grade of plastic that's used reacting to sun's UV. OEM is better in this regards.

    Like the headlights, some plastic polish will get some of the yellow out. Top it off with some good car wax with UV inhibitors, and it'll go a bit further.
