Look a bit closer, he has an issue of the chrome bubbling/peeling inside the housing, not just clouding lenses.
So he needs to either paint the inner bezels or get new ones.
But yeah like you say the lenses can be salvaged with a little elbow grease.
BTW, I really like the bezel color against the silver on your car. It's a good combo. It would look hot with your fogs and side markers done the same way..

O i see, yeah he will have to paint it or change the chrome bezel. Thanks bro, really appreciate it. After I finish off my air project and wheel project I'll keep that in mind.
Well its not only the inner highbeam section, but most of that head light in general.
What do you guys mean by switching out the lenses? Just the clear part? I have tried to buff it but its still hazy.
I just hate trying that whole putting the lights in the oven thing. I'm not ballin so if I mess up, that's that... no coming back.
There are little parts you can hear shaking and rattling that you know broke and its just stuck there rattling.
I have a pair of old eBay projector halo lights.... maybe I can try to salvage something off it
Btw these are rx300 projectors...

Wow those looked like ls430 projectors. I say, save up and get them right. If you don't have the money now, hold on to them until you do. You know how many losses I took with stuff LOL. This car game is a money pit bro, just pace yourself.

That sucks man... I hate it when people don't give full disclosure - regardless if its a 100$ item or not. You know how i work... Hopefully you can scavenge a set or something.
If you're stuck or looking for a new pair, i have Halogen green tint's lying around in almost perfect shape.
Bubbling chrome bezel...
This is the way to go IMO.
RX350's can be had for less-to-100$ on HIDplanet...
He said he doesn't want to crack them open.

Oh, at first glance I though they were ls430. I'm not sure what the rx300 are worth but are still decent projectors.
Don't be scared of the oven man, I've done it a bunch of times. No worries. Ovens vary but I do like 220 for 10-12 minutes and test pulling the lens, then usually end up doing another 5min or so. At 220 or so your not gonna melt anything..

Just an update, I have had no luck in contacting HIDillusionz here in NYC... No responses to emails, phone calls, or anything. They might be out of business, not to mention the website looks like it was last updated a couple years ago...
Does anyone else know of another member in the NYC area thats willing to do any handyman headlight work?
$$ compensation can be provided...
Thanks guys.
