Default Lense Covers

I'm looking to just replace the OEM lens covers. I know that it would be better to just replace the whole thing but just trying to get by. I haven't seen just the covers.

ANYBODY?

Check out these $205 projector lens per setfrom migicar:

Wished I found this set before I bought those cheapo $155 clear lens, these $195 version with the dark smoke lens would perfectly match up to my Black R/T!!! Comes with the turn signal as well where mine is just the headlens replacement.

Hydra, here is just the lens only without turn signals. These are the clear lens pair I bought for my Durango. $155 a pair. Cheapest price I found so far from net. Free S/H.



Plus, anyone that have issues with their OEM lens all fogged up, Walmart sells a $20 polisher kit that will restore any lens no matter how bad in shape they are in as far as faded out, it will make it look like brand now. I bought this kit to try out on my camry where my lens already faded and turned yellow. After using this kit, my lens are now crystal clear. No more yellowish tarnage. Still look new after 8 months since I polished them. Went back to Walmart to buy a few more packs of these to keep around in case Walmart decides not to sell these kits anymore.

More info regarding the headilght lens, etc. Go to this message thread that is listed in the Q&A's Sticky

Ive polished mine a couple times and it just doesnt hold up. Seems the previous owner used something caustic so their life span is shortened, i can tell i have a minor cracks starting and not before long im sure they will spread. Might also be from an HID tester i was lent, 30 mins of run time heated the housing enough to concern me and remove. lets just say great HID's, but i had to give them bad reviews for stock replacement...

The polisher kit is located in the automotive accessories area in Walmart. The packet is flat. Also, the packet looks like a foil type packet. Looks something like a polishing cleaning cloth.

Thanks guy's.

I already have the clear corners. Replacing the whole housing with a fixed unit, (I would love) But it's too cold outside and too much time. I'll go this way first.
