Headlight Lens Replacement

Does anyone know of somewhere to buy JUST the clear plastic lens and not the entire headlight assembly?? I've been looking everywhere and I can only find the whole headlights bulbs included ranging form 250-300$$$.

Really I just need to replace one front lens, it has a crack in the bottom so besides constant moisture in there I think it's just permanently foggy. I tried the 3M restoration kit and although the lens feels way smoother and there's no yellowing anymore my whole headlight is still almost completely white. Here's a picture from before using the 3M, I don't have a picture of after but it pretty much looks the same.

Unfortunately no, not for the Maximas. Best bet is to buy a cheap eBay set and swap the lenses. The eBay headlights don't have good light output.

I've got a spare headlight. The back has been cut on, but the lens is still good. I can email you some pics if you'd like.

Edit: Nevermind, I just checked and it was passenger side. Sorry!

make a thread in the for sale section. Often people have just the lens. You could try asking zerotosixtyz he probably have what you need...
