My wife's car has the same problem, the previous owner put 70w bulbs in and melted the insides. I put 55w back in and I am planning to to a projector xenon upgrade which will not use the old burnt lenses.

Are you buying new lenses or cutting the old ones? If buying new, where can we buy them?

It is my understanding that the old lens is removed entirely but the reflective housing is reused.

That sounds perfect, I've been looking for instructions on how to do this. Do you have links? I'd love before an after photos.
