Does anyone know if its possible to buy the lenses for the front headlights on an 05 anywhere? or do they come as the whole assembly? because they are supposed to be a sealed unit but as we all know its possible to take them apart and color match the inside. Mine are starting to get yellowed and I think ive exausted every other option to get them clear again.

 

They are a sealed unit. To take them apart you have to bake them and peel them apart.

The best option is to get new ones off of ebay. I think they are $108 so more than worth the time and effort

 

I dunno how y'all are having the lens covers get so bad, my truck has been outside, in the sun and I'm mean DEEP SOUTH sun for the over seven years I've had it and they still are as clear as the day it came off the lot.
Are y'all waxing them when you wax the truck to give 'em some UV protection?


Anyways, if you strike out on fleabay, LMC truck has the OEM ones for $149...

 

Did you try one of the headlight cleaning kits where you buff them out with a drill and some compounds?

 

HammerZ71, Im with you. My 04 is outside all the time and no issues with the lights but then again, maybe we are lucky.

My first vote goes for a new pair off ebay as suggested. But if you are willing to take a $20 chance on those polishing kits sold in stores then you can try them first.

 

I dont think I've seen a ram that is older than a 04 with that issue. Sorry to hear that. Once you get new headlights, I apply Meguiars Plastix after every wash to headlights and tail.

 

Ya ive tried everything I can get my hands on so I guess ill have to buy a new pair sometime.I was hoping to get just the lenses because I already had the insides color matched but maybe ill look up a set of those aftermarket projector ones on ebay with some decent shipping cause its a bit of a pita trying to get stuff shipped to canada sometimes. thnx

 

theres a guy on here that does projector retrofits and paints them for a great price and they arent cheap projectors like the ebay kits

 

I just restored the headlights of 3 vehicles using the Meguiar's kit (polishing compound + buffer wheel for your drill) and they all look new again.

My project 92 Lexus SC400 had headlights so bad they looked like they were painted tan. NO light went in or out. After a light wetsand with 2000 grit paper, the polish kit had them crystal clear in seconds. They literally look brand new, saving me hundreds of dollars.

FWIW, I hated my aftermarket headlights (projector/halo setup). They look great but I didn't like their output. If anybody wants a set for cheap, $100 shipped and they're yours! They were on the truck 3-4 weeks.

 

I used 3Ms kit for a drill, and it worked amazing. You really have to sand them down and buff them out to make them look nice, otherwise you can just mess it up worse than it was.
