can you buy the headlight lense seperately for the is200? surely if you crack a lense they dont expect you to buy whole new unit?
after spraying my lights black i notice the defects in the glass more, was going to go to scrap yard but would be a risk of having the same problem. would be nice to have new lenses.
and if so what would be the damae to my wallet?

cheers

very rare nowadays to be able to buy just the lens mate unless its an old glass unit? so would say its new headlamps required i'm afraid wink.gif

Have you tried to polish them with t-cut or brasso and see if it improves the polycarbonate lens? i've used t-cut or brasso a few times and its always brought them up nice and should remove quite a few of the scratches and it also removes quite a bit of the yellow look from the lens?

I used to build headlamps and thats what we used for scratched lenses so might be worth a try mate before going down the new headlight route? smile.gif
