Headlight Question

Hi there. I have an 03 Max. I was wondering if any of you might know if it is possible to buy just the replacement plastic covering that fits over the headlights (plastic lens). Mine are scratched up and pretty bad looking. I have cleared out my turn signal and put on angel eyes so I know that piece comes off and on if you know what you are doing. If it is possible where does one try to get them? I called Nissan and of course they told me you have to buy the whole headlight, new lights and all. Aint going that route. Thanks for any input you might be able to offer.

Only two options I can think of.
1. Junkyard
2. Try the 3M restoration kit. If scratches are not deep I don't see why this won't work.
GL!

Try the 3M restoration kit or the Lightrite one. I used this Lightrite 9 months ago and they still look great.

take em to a body shop and get them to wetsand/polish them if you are unable to do it yourself ( im assuming you dont have a D/A sander, and you need that with some trizak 1500 and 3000 grit to accomplish it yourself) they could clean them both up in 15-20 mins.
