Default 05 ES330 HID lights?

Best place to purchase them? Ebay?

They have gone yellow on the INSIDE, not the usual yellowing on the outside so they can't be buffed or polished.

Moisture has somehow got on the inside of the lenses and I don't see how it can be fixed without replacing them. They work fine they are just an awful dirty yellow color now.

Thanks in advance.

they all seem pretty expensive the used OEM ones.

I think you are better off buying a set of aftermarket new HID housings off ebay TYC brand? since you only need the housings, you can transplant your bulbs and ballasts to the new housings.
