Default My headlights are foggy..

The lenses need to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone knew if anybody sells just the lenses, I really dont want to have to buy whole new headlight assembly..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get a pair of ebay headlights and take the lenses off of them. Then put them onto you're oem set, this will set you back about $140 dollars but you will have brand new lenses. They fit perfectly by the way. Just make sure that when you put the lenses on to your oem set to silicone really well, so that water does not get into the housing and short your ballast out.

Probably better off using a headlight restoring kit you can find in automotive stores or walmart. Speaking of which, I need to get one

I sanded my lenses and they are very very clear now. I did the whole 3M process as described and came out with great results. sorry i dont have pictures to for example, but with a little effort, you can get away with restoring your lenses to almost new in a little over an hour.

Headlight restoring kits are barely a final step...on 2sand.com, part of their dustless sanding discs has a suggested adapter.
Buffing should and will be the final step, at that point grab any buffer, I use my rotary on that part and use PlastX...thats all the meguires kit is basiccally is a buffing adapter, towel and Plastx
