    Default Cracked Lense

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

    Default Possible, but not as simple as it might seem

    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?
