been a long while since I have been here. My wife has a 2009 370z. and of course the headlights are yellowed. The replacement lights are the price of a new car. I was surprised to find that they have the replacement lenses available. The price is reasonable, my question is how hard is it to replace the lenses? special tools ? etc. I researched the DYI section and YouTube.
Where did you find replacement lenses?

Thanks for the opinions, replies, thoughts.
Now does anyone know if there is any instructions on replacing the lenses? is there a special sealant / glue? is there a gasket etc...
No need to reply with how to sand, where to buy replacement / used headlights etc.

Thanks in advance !!!

Way too expensive not to mention the work it would take to transfer everything, just buy a used one in good condition.

These are headlight housing and lens. I have not seen any lenses for sale without the housing.
