Unfortunately, replacement lenticular lenses for these headlights don't seem to be available separately. To replace this burnt lens, one needs to buy a whole new headlight assembly.

I'd still love to see someone try simply removing the lenticular lens. It would likely affect the beam pattern at least somewhat versus brand new with fresh/clear lens (assuming the lens has a functional purpose) but it couldn't possibly be worse than having the lens being this badly burnt!

It should also be lots easier (and cheaper) than a projector retrofit, and might even look cool. (But we have yet to see what it would actually look like, because I don't believe I've heard or seen anyone try it.) If not satisfied, one could always re-open the housings, and proceed with retrofitting projectors.

I have some mildly burnt lenses in my 2001 that are kind of tempting to try the lens-ectomy. If they were this badly burnt, I'd have tried it already.
