Lenses are not sold seperately. If you want new lenses you'll have to buy new headlights...

Have you tried wetsanding and PlastX? Works pretty well.

I'll try it out, I haven't tried either as of yet, I just took it to a local pepboys and another local place and they tried but said there to foggy and they can't restore them. So If I buy new headlights I can get new lens? Ok. But i'll try Plastx this weekend , thanks a lot

Wetsand it with 1500 and then 2000 grid. Then go over it with PlastX. That should give you a nice result.

Yes, what I meant is you can only buy the headlights as a whole, not just the lenses. And OEMs are very expensive.

Ohh Ok yes that would be very expensive, Ok i'll try this out over the weekend. Another quick question I wanted to get my rear brake system done rotors everything lex charges 636.00 plus tax compare to a local shop 540 with tax included. Should I stick with lex ? Or is it ok to go to a local shop? I know this is off topic

Do it yourself and order the parts from one of our vendors.
