Searched to no avail. Does anyone know where to find some for the 05/06 models? I just want to use the lenses from them to replace my slightly fogged ones.

 

I don't think anyone makes 05-06 aftermarket headlights. Too bad, it would make retrofits a lot easier if we could get another set of headlights on eBay like the 03-04 guys can.

 

i think you SHOULD be able to take the lens off the 03-04 ones and use them, could be wrong.

 

^^ i dont think you can someone with a 03/04 took pictures of their headlights and i snapped a few of my 05/06 headlights and we did come comparing and they are different but not to much .. so i don't think they will work out changing just the lenses

 

There are headlight lens cleaning products on the market that should clean up your headlights nicely. The lights sold on eBay for 03/04 will fit into the 05/06 cars. I know because I just temporarily installed them in my 05 while the stocks are out for a modification. It is not a 100% perfect fit because they are slightly different but the hood will close. With that in mind, the aftermarket lens will not fit onto the original housing because of the slight differences in shape.

 

i dont know if you clearly searched enough or not typing in the right things ... ashley posted this up not to long ago ... i hope things can solve your problem ....

^That should definitely help you restore you headlight lenses. Ashley's lenses looked like crap and they look great now.

 

and you would save yourself a FEW HUNDRED bucks as well which is good

 

I searched clearly enough with the right terms. I was asking about a new lens, not a restoration product. The problem with polycarbonate lenses is that once the top surface has been worn down (by debris or by compounding), the lenses become much more susceptible to fogging/haziness (as you may know). It is like removing the clear coat on a car's finish.

With that said, I will probably use a restoration kit similar to the 3M one, but I would like to know what my options are, if any, for new lenses before I go that route.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

 

The 03-04 ebay ones WILL fit. HOWEVER, fitment won't be perfect and there will be some gaps.

 

yes they will fit but who wants to roll around with the wrong fitment lights ??? will look silly :-)

 

restore it and shoot a coat of clear on it, then take care of it like paint!

 

or restore it and find some clear vinyl and cover it

 

....^....this is probably your best option, restore really well and have a tint shop apply some clear over them. Replacement headlight covers aren't available and you don't need to spend the $$ for new headlights....

This works well? No problems with light refraction of anything? I am getting the car painted soon, so getting a coat of clear on it could be easily done.


I had some of this type of film on my last headlights from www.stickercity.com and it worked really well at protecting from debris and yellowing. Might also give this a try.
