Headlight lens replacement?

Can I replace just the lens or do I have to replace the whole assembly?? My buddy had bad cables which melted the lens when I jumped him. And yes everything was hooked up right.

 

Sucks.

Thanks,

Thanks?

 

You have to replace the entire housing assembly.

 

unfortunately this is true

 

I think its bullshit that no one sells just the lens, you could easily heat up the assembly and replace the lens yourself

 

After you snap into a SlimJim, anything is possible...

 

There are so many issues with condensation inside the lens on aftermarket headlamps that wouldnt make much sense to make them.

 

its easy enough to put it next to a dehumidifier and seal it properly

 

Have to replace the whole assembly.

 

X2, but beware. There are many, many aftermarket headlight housings out there. Some look just like the OEM housings. Generally speaking though, you get what you pay for and many of the aftermarket housings end up looking like an aquarium in pretty short order. Oh, and the light pattern some of them put out is pretty pathetic too. Like I said, beware.

 

I wonder if an inexpensive aftermarket headlight lens will match up with a stock housing?

 

boys are right there is no OEM or aftermarket lenses

 

I know that there aren't any vendors selling just lenses. What I'm talking about is buying a pair of aftermarket headlights for cheap, heating them up in the oven and seperating the lenses then combining the aftermarket lenses with stock housings. If this is possible you could have clear lenses with OEM housings/reflectors for a fraction of the cost of new OEM headlights.

 

Go to a junkyard. Pull the light (s) off of a Tacoma. BAM. You got lights
