tsamrein Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Does anyone know where to get a new outer headlamp lens? Mine is cracked from hitting a deer and I don't want to spend $250 to buy one new headlamp. I am also open to other DIY ideas. I thought about getting a piece of Lexan and heating it over the current lens to create a new one, but I am not positive it will pass a safety inspection here in Missouri. I don't know if the techs will look for the DOT #'s on the lens or not. Thanks for any help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 You won't be able to find just the lens, they are an assembly. I have been able to round up a few sets of decent ones from the junk yard, so I can try out some things, $30 a piece. Having tried to get them apart I guarantee that you won't find just the lens, I don't think you can get them apart non destructively, not even heating them in an oven or other things I have done to other headlights to get them apart. Most on eBay used are around $150, or for about what you spend on a new headlight you could get those aftermarket ones with the LED strip or the sequential turn signals...but then need 4 new bulbs as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtanon Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 As Bangster mentions, you just can't replace the outer plastic on a headlamp assembly.. you'll pretty much have to replace the whole assembly.. and IMHO, you'll want to replace as a set if they're more than 4 or 5 years old. Your bio mentions that you have a 2012, so I can definitely offer an alternative option: aftermarket headlamp assemblies. I bought a set of Spec-D headlamp assemblies a few years back for my 2010, and the same set will fit yours. They originally sold for about $250 for a pair, but I just found this on Amazon for a SMOKING price of only $145: https://smile.amazon.com/Spec-D-Tuning-LHP-FUS10G-TM-Projector-Headlight/dp/B0751WRS23/ The ones I bought were the chrome version, not the 'smoke' version, but they still function the same way, and these are about 60% the price, and are actually sold by Amazon, so you get full return policy and support. Definitely worth a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
