WTB: 5.5Gen Passanger Headlight Lens

I'm looking for a Right Side (passanger) headlight lens from an 02-03 Maxima. The one I have is faded/discolored, and need a clear one. Please let me know what you have. I dont care for the housing (so it can be damaged) as long as the lens is clean and clear. Thanks

Try wet sanding and polishing your lens with Plast-X plastic polish, your lens will come up just like new if you take a little time and wet sand properly. Depending on if you have any pitting or scratches you will need 800 - 1000 - 1500 - 2000 grit wet sand paper
1. start with the 800 grit keeping it wet to remove deeper pitting and scratches.
2. move to the 1000 grit and continue to sand always sand in just one direction.
3. move to the 1500 grit and continue to sand
4. finish up with the 2000 grit the lens should be quit smooth now and deep pitting and scratches should be gone.
5. wash the lens and towel dry - don't worry it is suppose to look cloudy.
6. Now polish the lens with Plast-X plastic polish just apply the polish and with a polisher buff the lens ... stand back and enjoy - your lens will look like new.

Total cost 10-15.00 dollars for the wet sandpaper and the plastic polish and a little bit of your time.

Cleared mine up with 3M headlight restoration kit. Damn near 100%. Probably easier than trying to locate a lens, been down that road (virtually impossible). Good luck.

So i did the 3m treatment (few times), but its still very cloudy... I will continue to keep sanding and polishing, but still would rather get a replacement lens...

I actually had to heat mine up and separate the lense from the housing. The haze was on the inside. Not much to lose, worth a shot.

I have the whole headlight assembly, ballast bulbs whole headlight, $250 shipped to you. Not parting for the lense though, you could easily sell the ballast ect and make back your money.

Thanks for the link. I usually check ebay every other day or so trying to find one. Hopefully I can snag this one for a good price.

I cannot afford that kind of money for a light right now.
