I have yellow lens covers again (pretty bad) and am tired of polishing. Each time does not last as long as the last. Thinking about replacing both housings and have read over several post. I want to make sure I have the correct procedure so if some one would be so kind, please let me know if I have this right.

then the housing should come out but removing the mounting screws.

I can't afford the e-codes (yikes) and was thinking about these

Why not replace just the plastic lens with glass ?

Those light assembles are poor quality (China) and the housing crack after a year or two.
I love the lenses that I installed. The results are like NEW.

That would be fine, suggestions on where to find those? I did not see that info while searching for the OP.

Many thanks
