Anyone know where you can pick up just the lenses for our headlights? I don't really wanna buy the whole assembly if I don't have too!

I recently replaced my headlights with new Bosch ones as one had a mounting tab broken off and the other had wiring starting to short.....I still have the old ones which I intended to put on ebay but haven't done that yet. Any interest?

As I recall they are pretty good shape. I'll try to get a photo to you shortly.

If you're trying to solve the yellowing/haze have them polished then wrapped in clear vinyl or clear bra type vinyl did mine look 300x better and don't rehaze

They could use a polishing which I think should take out the haze. On the left one there are small crazing along the outer edge as seen in the photo.

I had been told that these couldn't be taken apart so bought new ones (Hella, not Bosch) but now I see that the lenses seem to easily come unclipped so I could have probably replaced the wiring that had insulation cracking off.

They are halogen units oem. Only bi xenon is Corning. I have the bi xenon in my car and honestly I can't tell that they corner. Totally unlike my ML550 and SL 63 which you can totally tell.

You know I've been thinking about it. It just prob not worth 200 to sell these perfectly good headlights. I'll prob just take the lenses off them and transfer them to my bi xenon ones on my car.

You can still sell the chrome guts to someone who wants to facelift there old lights. When I had my e55 I used facelift halogen chrome on my 04 xenon housings. Just be warned the "chrome" rubbs off very easily off of the plastic.
