Default Focus LV Tail Lights has Turned Yellowish, How to reach inside?

The clear tail lights on my lv (the inner plastic) has turned yellowish. I've seen this is common with mk2.5 Focii when I look around in town. Does anybody know how can we reach that inside clear plastic (the one with the honeycomb pattern) so I can polish both sides with a headlight restorer kit?

Thanks heaps,

RadioactiveX

Not overly sure that you can except through the small hole that the globe goes in. They are a sealed unit between the two halves so unless you wanted to separate and rejoin I can't see much other option.

Cheers
