Gen5 camry headlight question

I've been looking at putting a set of SE headlights on my car, but they're about impossible to find an actual OEM set. Ebay has a bunch of aftermarket ones for $130 each side, but, no. Does anyone know what a good replacement brand is? The ones I've got now are getting kind of scratched up from age.

I have a SE exhaust with tip attached and sway bar for sale. I will sell my SE wheels after I get aftermarket set, but not so soon. Sorry, I won't sell my SE headlights.

Looking for OEM would be killing the wallet, as for aftermarket, they are all basically made by the same company, just repackaged. I think APC (gonna catch hell just for mentioning them) are the only ones I believe that is actual DOT/SAE approved. An option to think about is junkyards, or contact your local bodyshop and see where they get their parts from. As even though they are aftermarket they are DOT approved mostlikely.

the outside of your lights are scratched with deep scratches or just scuffed and dull looking?
you can polish out the clear acrylic part of your headlights to make them look new again.
i gotta do mine soon too

Headlights, not fog lights.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Well, I thought just dull looking, but I've taken a buffer to them, and they shined up a little, but not much, so maybe there's something on the inside of the lense.
