I don't recognize that light.

Check closely and you should see a line where they covered it with a tint film

Is that car an RX8? Anyway, try and feel the light if it's a film or glass.

looks tinted due to the blurry texture.

It could be painted on tint as well, which can be removed, its just much harder

You don't want clear foglights. Foglights only work right when the blue light is filtered out, because it's blue light that causes glare in foggy conditions. That's why the yellow filter is there in the first place.

You may want clear decorative lights that make the car look shiny and do nothing useful, but that's a different topic.

That's actually a myth. There are people who have done analysis of yellow/blue wavelength vs water droplet size, and it doesn't add up.

Personally, I like the (possibly mythological) tale of the Frenchman who stuck newpaper, which happened to be old and yellow, on his headlights to cut the brightness and hence the glare.

It's not a myth. The analysis you're referring to isn't taking into account the behavior of the human eye. The human eye gets most of its high-resolution data from the red and green cone cells in the retina; the blue cone cells are there to provide color-balance and brightness-sensing, and provide very little high-resolution data. Furthermore, the rod cells that provide night-vision are most sensitive to blue-green light, so bright blue light will overwhelm them almost instantly

The fact that the human eye gets easily overwhelmed by blue light is the reason why some motorcyclists mod their taillights with "blue dot" brake lights that make the entire taillight look like it turns purple when they use the brakes, even though the blue is actually just emitting from a little spot in the center of the taillight. Your eyes are very sensitive to the brightness of blue light, but they're terrible at sensing detail using blue light.

So when you're driving in conditions where the air is highly reflective (i.e. fog) and you need to be able to see in as much detail as possible, you need to use light that contains as little blue as possible, so your retinas don't get dazzled by the backscatter.
