4th Generation New headlight lenses for my 97 Cam?

The headlight covers (plastic pieces in the front) are getting foggy and a bit old. Lots of UV in Reno.

Any suggestions on replacements? Any good vendors?

The light output is suffering and I would like to fix that.

Thanks guys!

They don't sell replacement lenses. You need to replace the whole lamp, and if you're picky about things, you'll need to replace the pair.

Before I decided to replace my headlights on my '97, I used Mother's Aluminum Mag Polish on the covers. This cleared them up, but I got tired of applying the polish every couple days. Just buy some new ones on ebay.

I paid $68.00 for my headlights. My old ones didnt look right next to my new clear corners. The light output has definitely increased on my car.
