Burnt Headlight Lense

Both of my headlight assemblies have burnt and melted inside lenses. Can you just replace that lens? Or does it have to be the whole assembly?

You have to take the whole assembly apart to get at those crappy plastic lenses. That isn't the easiest job. In which case you're better off putting in the new projectors that were covered in this massive thread in the DIY section:

And now available from Pelican Parts.
