so im trying to paint the inside of my 06 lights and i was wondering is there a way i can buy new lenses or do i need to buy new headlights and pull the lenses off those?
-im replacing them because the lenses are scuffed up from the last owner...

 

You can get some ebay lights and just take the lenses off those if you want. you can't buy the lenses only- you need to purchase the entire headlight assembly.

 

if its scuff up then maybe you can try to have a body shop sand and reclear. a set of cheapo headlights from ebay is like 150. see if you can get yours redone for less than that. if not buy a whole new set and replace

 

well its weird because there is a spot where its scuffed on the driver side and when you slide your hand across it its still smooth. not sure if its from the inside maybe or it was recleared before...i think i'll get new lenses.

 

i was thinking what i can do for headlight lens ..cuz i didnt wanna replace the entire headlight...so good question

 

there is an east coast shop that sells lenses, not always in great condition for 100-150 per... frankly you should just wait and try to get some 06+ off someone local looking to trade.

 

um yeah you can buy the lenses. check out on DIU section there's a thread that explains perfectly. He's got links to lenses as well.

 

I have the same problem, took apart my 06 lights and they are perfect on the inside, but no matter what i do to the lenses they remain scratched and foggy. I saw the idea of buying cheaper ebay lights and just using the lenses, so i bought a set of aftermarket headlight made for 03-05, will the lens cover fit my 06 headlights? that's the only part im using. Also, I'm going to paint the inside housing, do I need to use high temperature paint?

 

Im going to be using these lenses . I have no experience with them yet but figured I would share. I've seen another Z with those lenses and the cut off was sharp.

Anyone know if the 03-05 HL lense is the same as the 06+ HL Lense? And can they be swapped?

 

^ they are a direct swap .. my lenses are off a set of the cheapest depo 03 ebay lights i could find.. the 06 plastic part bolts back in to them perfectley and they seat into 06 headlights w no issue.

 

perfect thanks for the fast reply...

 

Sorry to revive an older thread but how about the insides?

I've painted my lights and they turned out ok but the gray shroud over the bulb itself is a little screwed up. Looking to get new ones of these.. Anyone know of a site that sells them?

Would love to avoid dropping $350+ per headlight to re-buy the whole thing.

 

Easier to fix them tbh..no one sees them alone. The depo version allows light leak thru in comparison to oem

 

I had the same problem with my 03 lenses being scuffed and just had mine replaced Monday with 06 by Zworks https://m.facebook.com/zworklights ; I can't believe how far I can see at night now!

 

Headlights look great Kalena7!

 

Thanks Sean - so should I add LED side markers to that lol?

 

I think it's time lol. It'll be a nice addition to your front end.

 

Wow those headlights look fantastic!

Mind if I ask what bulb you put in the side? That blue is perfect!

Assuming you the shop put in some LED's with resistors...do you remember which brand of LED and what specs they are? I'm about to do the same thing as you, except I'm a DIY kinda guy

Thanks and congrats on the great looking Z,

Saved, since I'm not a DIY gal but really wish I was, I asked the guy who built and installed it for me - "just tell him plcc2 LED". Hope that helps.
