I don't think the lenses are sold separately FWIW. If you do have Xenon, the outter lense from the depo unit might work. Also there are reports of fitting factory projectors into Depo headlights. It's sounds 'fiddly' though.

If you want to save some $$$ you can wet sand and polish the haze away.

The Sylvania headlight restoration did a great job on an 03 Infiniti I had. Easiest of the kits I had used.
