Replacement Headlamp Lense

Anyone know where I can get replacement lense only for my Maxima?

I have a 1999 Maxima and the headlamp lense are all "scuffed" and scratched.
I contacted the dealership and they only sell the entire replacement headlamp
housing. I'm looking for only the headlamp lense.
Anyone know who might sell this?


Also, If I find a manufacturer- who else is interested?

Naw- they are like $50 each used
There isn't anything wrong with the housing.
I just want to replace the lense. It sounds kinda crazy to drop $130 (shipping)
on new headlamps and housings. Just because of the scratches.

I've emailed a manufacturer - I'm gonna try and set something up.
If anyone else is interested- probably gonna have to do a large order of them.

Usa an agressive compound and some elbow grease. They will buff right out. Better yet if you have an electric high speed buffer. Use a wool pad and buff them to a clear high gloss.

Just go to autozone and find some clear plastic polisher. its cheap and is supposed to minimize the appearance or get rid of small scratches and it also makes it really clear. Just take off the lenses and clean them with that, save yourself like $115. Look, youre gonna have to remove the lenses anyways to put new ones on right? just take them off and clean them real real good with that stuff.
If it still looks bad, then worry about replacing the lenses. Peace
