Just bolted my edge bar to my 09 Tacoma, and the first thing I noticed was how yellowed the lenses look on my piercer compared to my TDs. Is there a way to take apart the piercer so the lenses can be freshened up? Thanks!

The lenses are glued in place...so you may endup damaging the unit trying to remove them. I would use a cleaner to remove the yellowing.

hey use clean motor oil right out of the bottle just a little dab on a rag wipe it on and then wipe it off it should take most the yellow out thank use turtle wax put a little of that on let it sit for bout 6 mins or so then wipe it off should work i do it with all my old led bars.

The razor blade is for scraping the top-most little bit of lens off, which removes most of the yellowed plastic. Then you just get some plastic buffing compound and go to town.
