Too expensive for one. Should be about 60-70e for one side.

can you change them though ? I assumed it was a sealed unit, has anyone had any luck putting new ones on ??

Yes you can remove them. Need to cut the old lenses off. I used a dremel. Changed lenses and painted the internals and added a new led halo while I had them out. Worth doing it!

This is way better than mine. Mine look cloudy inside and out |

I've seen a post about removing headlight assembly and rinsing inside with methanol I believe. It removed the cloudy film that forms on inside. The outside can usually be fixed with sanding and clear coating.

I've sanded mine and used Meguiar's clear coat for headlights and while the Passenger Side came out perfect and looks brand new now, the Driver Side is still cloudly and now at night when the lights turn on I can see stress marks all over.
Now it bothers me even more that left and right don't match. I would of preferred both sides to look cloudy together hahaha |
