Hi,
The Headlights and lenses are an integral unit. As mentioned, you can reclaim them, but lots of elbow grease...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Can they be replaced? If so, is the parts dept the only source for these?
Both of my lenses have nickel size spots that appear yellowed and melted.

Try Plexus and Renovo. That should remove the yellowing but burns are not comning out.

Ironic you would use the word 'stealership' in this post, as the used litronics on ebay are most often stolen items, sold through a number of hands so the person selling on ebay has no connection with the actual theft - directly, anyway...
