I replaced my standard side light bulbs with led bulbs, they look better than normal bulbs but the the side light lense seems to refuse alot of the brightness from bulbs as the lense looks kind of purple/blueish tint.

Is there a way to make the lense clearer so the true white light of the led can shine through?

When the bulb is connected but not inserted into light it is really bright and matches the main lighting.

Tried 2 different sets of leds as I thought it might have been the leds.
 
Do you mean the part inside the light or the outer part .If out side you can get a lense refurb kit on ebay.Just a polish will bring them back to normal
 
I couldnt say for sure if its inside or outside but its nothing that needs cleaning. I know lenses can go cloudy as i had this in my W203 but this is to do with just the upper part of headlamp where the sidelight bulbs are housed that section looks purple/blueish compared to the see through section on main bulb assembly of head lamp
