They are bundled together by shrink wrap and cannot be purchased separately.
The SprayMax system cannot be purchased just anywhere. I found mine at an auto paint shop through one of the online stores like EBay or Walmart Online.
I don’t care one way or the other if anyone uses this system, I just want people who come here looking for information to have all the info possible. There are details of using this product in the link I posted earlier in this thread.

Write back in 5 years and let us know if it holds up.
You still have to worry about finish quality (runs, orange peel and dust/hair contaminants).
Better to just pay a pro $50 to spray them when they're doing a car or something.
Spraymax runs $30-$40 by itself and you still have to worry about contaminants and finish quality.
Automotive clear coat is proven and will look like glass for years.
Having worked with hundreds of headlights over the years, I have to say that a pro is the best route if you can get it done for less than $100.
It's just not worth the headache.
