I wouldnt do it. And im almost sure they dont sell lenses separately. Might as well buy new ones.
Are your lenses hazed up, if so just use some Meguiar's PlastX?

I heard of people buying the ebay lights and using just the lenses off of them... They are around $200... Just a thought

also would be interested depending on price. when you paint your lights, theres a good chance you do something to them, even if its barely noticeable... im **** about imperfections

Would the lens be compatible between all models (shape wise?)

Can we buy 03-05 and use their lenses instead?

cheap aftermarket ebay 03-05's sounds like a decent option, transplant the new lens onto your headlamps. I've used the PlastX stuff, it works decent but it wont make them like new if there are deep scratches. Oh I miss true glass lenses... but they do break easier.

After you restore the lens or get new ones, buy some clear 3M or whatever brand protective film for your headlamps. It is supposed to keep them from cracking or breaking if a rock hits your headlamp, but it will probably also provide good protection from chemical corrosion to the plastic lens caused by the elements and mix of nasty crap floating in the air, tree sap and road debris in general.
