Replacement headlight and foglight lens?

Hey,

Getting around to fixing up some minor stuff on the front of my car before summer and I was just quoted at $100 a pop for headlight lenses and $50 a pop for foglight lenses. Does anyone know where I could get these for a better price? $300 seems a little steep for plastic.

I didn't know you could replace just the lens. I need new fog lights but for $50 each I might just get the lenses that beats paying $200 each for new fog lights. Who has these replacement lenses?

That's just what the body shop told me. My lights work perfectly but the lenses look like CRAP

Which side do you need? Driver or passenger? I have a broken driver side headlight. The rear of the headlight is busted (black plastic part), but the lens is good and clear.

I'm going to check a few other places first, but I will stop by and ask...maybe he was talking out his azz...because he wasn't referencing any books, he was just talking off the top of his head.

If the headlight lenses aren't cracked have you tried plast-x on them?

Too bad you don't have a 2000-2001. Just saw them on Amazon for $50 for a pair of fog lights and $79 for the pair of headlights (full assemblies and not just lenses).

I am glad I saw this, my headlamps are pretty foggy, I have polished them many times and cleared them up but they keep getting foggy again. I will have to look into new lights for under $200.00, that's not bad at all.

I've used the GlassyLite restoration kit on my headlights with great results. They were probably 95% clear as new after i was done using this kit. This was done last summer and 8 months and 1 winter later they are still crystal clear. Bought it from amazon here.
