I got lucky with mine they match good (replaced them with new clear corners b/c the old clear corners were just garbage (got them for free)). But what you can do is clean them, there is a residue film that has formed on the inside of the lens. Over time from turning the lights on and off, the air inside expanded and was forced out, then when you turned it off again fresh air was sucked back in. So over time enough crappy air (especially if you live near salt water) will build a film and the heat of the light will bake it on.
I think the lens can be popped off without removing the assembley, I hope someone can add to this to help you out. But there are two clips on the top of the lens they look bronze or something they should pop off and allow the lens to come off the housing. But like I said I have not done this so I'm not sure. When it's off its just a matter of cleaning it with some soap and water or windex.

funny thing is, if you get the Beemer lights, from the conversions I've seen the corners will still be "clearer/'whiter'"....the only solution I've seen is to tint the clear corners with that nightshade spray!

I never really had that prob though, mine match up pretty nice with the stock lights-->

if it bugs you that much, I would go with the BMW conversion because I think the stock lights are kinda expensive. I saw 1 on ebay 80 bones awhile back.
