Can the lense be changed without changing the whole headlight. They are projectors.

Here is a link to a member who removed a lens with a heat gun / torch:

my UK 93' 525tds has hella lights, those are the only ones i believe you can buy the lens separatly for. just 3 screws hold the rear (projector part) to the glass lens, and another 3 hold the lens onto the mounting.

You get what you pay for. Don't buy cheap eBay lenses, unless they are Hella.

Do you still have a set? I think I will be needing the lens for my dipped (outer) lamps soon. (crack and some bad pitting) I did the inner (high beams) with polycarbonite but, don;t think they will be durable long term.
How much would you take for a pair if you still have them or can you direct me to purchase some?
