headlight
DigitalDeviant bought $200 eBay headlights and swapped the lenses to his 06 projectors. They came out great and would honestly be your only option to get clean lenses. If you have 03-05 headlights then I would just go ahead and swap the entire assemblies to save you the trouble.
For those of you that don't follow my build thread, I will just leave this here
So my 06 projectors were really cloudy and beyond repair as the damage was inside especially with the stress cracks. So, anyone looking for replacement lenses and can find these cheap like i did. Do it, then just clear coat them.
Before
So, I bought a set of these ebay lights for 200 bucks new.
Then took them apart
Removed the bezel
Here is the gap at the top corner - they sealed just fine and all the screws went in place with no issues.
Installed the 06 bezel and done

Yes, baked @ 200 for 10 mins. It's not hard at all. You just need to remove the ballast and 3 small screws around the edge of the light. Bake, and peel it apart, then swap the inner bezel out. Bake it again and once removed, install the lens and press HARD on the edges to seal it. Bake it one more time to let it seal some more and then take it out, put the scews in and you're done.

No I didnt. I have another set I'm using for retrofit, but it's low on the priority list. This mod was only to clean up these so I can sell them later. They got a few layers of clear over the weekend as well.
Before you drop $200 on aftermarket trash headlights try this...OFF bug spray and a towel which will require rubbing for 10 to 15 minutes. Your headlight will come out clear and it didn't cost you hardly anything!

I would agree with trying to clean them up first. However, mine were beyond the sanding / buffing stage as they had tons of stress cracks and yellowing from inside the lens.
