I'm hearing that they also released now a newer version of KITT with all white lights. Though I also hear that the reissue is somewhat hard to come by at the moment.
If you're unhappy, try asking Joyride about the reissue with the clear foglights and see if they can exchange it for you if they have the reissue in, and if not, see if they'll get the reissue in and exchange it then.
I am not sure if anyone has successfully changed the amber foglights for clear ones but some of the other modelers here might have ideas and suggestions.
The amber foglights are one of the reasons I didn't go for this particular model.

You mean the Ertl K.A.R.R. has the two amber fog lights like K.I.T.T.?

someone used black electrical tape to cover it up and it looked awesome. Try cutting just a small piece big enough to cover and it will look cool.

Nope. Just the lights. the upcoming KARR should look identical to this one, except for the gray bottom & green voicebox of course.

yeah, i think i'll be the same when mine gets here. i'll probably tape or paint over the outer ones anyway. looking at the all white ones above, the out ones look bigger than the others. i think it'll look cooler with just 4.

Yes that is a problem, which is why some prefer the orange lights as they hide the different size better than the onces all silver. Why they can't all be the same size is beyond me as it would have been cheaper to have them all the same size from a production cost view and more realistic from our point of view.
