A certain somebody will be along shortly.

He takes the outer cover off and refurbishes them. Then, you can get Nine8Six's projectors.

Read through this thread -

You'll have to wait for Pelican to have the projectors in stock, but they are awesome. A cheap alternative would be to post a wanted ad for the clear inner lenses that are burned on yours - they get pulled when putting in Fred's projectors. There should be some floating around for near free. I was going to hang on to mine for a situation just like this (they were in great shape), but I broke too many of the tabs prying them out.
