Default Lenses Sun Damaged Now

Commander lenses buggered now. I could cut the old lenses out and replace them but I'm not sure I can even get hold of any. Thinking about these projector lenses that are a retro fit full replacement.

Thoughts welcome please?

Lens repair kits from auto shops are cheap and I've had good results with them. Just my humble opinion.

I must admit I've not looked at repair yet? If new lenses are available its the pricking around too. I don't get much time these days to mess about.

Thanks but don't see the point in replacing poor lenses with poor lenses. Nice of you to offer however!

I have used the lens restorer kits before, with pretty good results. i did my Grand and was pretty happy how they turned out.
You wont get them like new but all the haze and discoloration should go. the kits are worth a shot its a lot cheaper than new headlights.

Freetripper said that too. I might give it a go after all. Spending a bit of money on her at the moment. Rear Pinion Yoke and seal. I have a lift kit in mine too and the original upper ball joints are rattling. There being done soon I've got the JBA upper control arms in when the lift was done. I should have done the ball joints then as well. I've also just brought in the 4x4 Armour front nudge bar. Another job pending
