350z headlight lense replacement
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...

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.

headlight painting and part swapping
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.

Sorry to revive..
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.

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!

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,
