    have you tried sanding/polishing them? its maybe an hour or two worth of work.. well worth it

    if you dont want to put the time in you can give merlin a call at st. charles isuzu, mention vehicross.info for a discount

    if you get new ones ill buy the old ones off of u for a reasonable price

    The whole headlight assembly is one piece. Pretty pricey to buy new. Used ones come up once in awhile.

    You may want to try to polish them. Check out this "how-to" page for great instructions http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...warticle&id=26

    Yes . sand them with fine sandpaper and use a high speed buffer to polish them. I did it to mine and they look like new. shawn

    gab, read IndianaVX thread on headlight polishing or my thread called zen and the art of headlight polishing if their really F-up. Might save you some grief and a whole bunch of money. Just remember to have them covered with lexan afterwards, very important. I think the sanding/polishing and maybe running it through car washes effects the surface temper of the plastic. Since I did mine and then had them covered, they still look like new 18 months later. The lexan becomes the raincoat against UV damage. This is all just an educated W.A.G.

    i wish that that was all that i needed.... there was a clearcoat on from a couple of years ago... i tried to take it off woth a laquer/paint remover.... it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.... it seems to have bonded with the plastic and damaged it.
