Headlamp replacement

No other option for headlamps other than OEM? Mines an 08 and the lens is a little sun damaged. No way to change just the lens? OEM HL are expensiveee!

Have you tried to restore your headlights? I just sanded mine down with 1000, 1500, ,2000, then 3000. Applied Plast X and used wax and sealant now they are brand new.

This works! My brother has a 2005 Subaru and his headlights were super yellow. He worked on it for an hour or two and now they're pretty darn clear.

have not tried it, but if you look closely at the lamp you can se some very fine cracks. Where yours heavily damaged?

Thanks for the tip

I read of some issues over on G35driver about some hairline spider cracks in the headlight covers, some of them were replaced by the dealer. The clouding is simple to remove though as per the previous replies.
Here's the thread
