I have a 95 gs 300 and ive had enough of the headlight yellowing and
want to get new lenses. I called my dealer and she said you had to buy
the lenses and assemblies together. Is this true and if it is what
would be a cheap place to order them online because i dont want to pay
816 dollars for clear lenses on an 11 year old car. I love the car but
the screwed up with those headlights.

does any one know anything about this and can help me?

Thanks in advance

Clark

The factory headlight lenses are part of the headlight assembly and are not
available separately.

As far as a cheap place to order them online, I recommend that you try a
google search for either OEM or aftermarket replacements, or restorative
treatments like the one pictured here:
http://www.autogeek.net/lenshowto.html I have no experience with those
treatments and have no idea whether they work or not, but if you are willing
to replace the headlight assemblies, then it is worth a try before
replacement.

I've heard that using "plastic polish" makes them like new. Tried looking
for it at Canadian Tire but couldn't find any.

Restorative treatments for headlight covers are basically plastic polish. I
would worry that polishing the covers might make them thin and more
susceptible to damage, but there is nothing to lose by trying them other
than the cost of the treatment and an investment in time.

I use Flitz polish. A few quick swipes and the lenses look almost
new.

Try another auto parts store or search online for "headlight cleaner."
