Is it possible to replace just the lense on the headlight assembly?

[firebird1999us]

Mine have gotten pretty beat up with stone chips - I wanted to replace the lense and then add some of the dark 3M clear bra material to gauge its durability before future use on the front end;)

[IllusionX]

the headlight is sold as a whole.

No worries about durability of 3M Clear Bra. That stuff is just shy of a coat of armor.

Anybody have any idea where to get a new OEM light or a quality replacement that's not $180 then?

To hiJack my own thread - I talked to a shop and they mentioned this stuff that a lot of people use locally. It's not the crappy stuff on ebay that cracks or has discoloration but it's not the 3m that everyone raves about either:

And they were about as useful as a tallow candle. Man, was I shocked when I moved to the US and realized sealed beams and analog cellphones were still a thing here. Actually, only in the US were sealed beams ever a thing, and good riddance.

Well you have to admit the modern headlites when they turn yellow and film over arent much better until you get out there on a Saturday morning and polish them with toothpaste for four hours....

The glass headlights became leaky and cracked and the reflectors got blind and the bulbs burned out too, but yeah they didn't yellow ;)

The headlights on my 07 are still crystal clear. Brightest lights I've ever had on a car and I rocked some highly illegal shit.
