Headlights

Would be very grateful for any information as to where I could buy some good second hand or reasonably priced new headlights for a 2005 ZT? My existing ones are in poor condition both on the outside and I believe inside of the plastic lens. Many thanks for any assistance.

do you require mki or mkii and halogen reflectors (mki only), halogen projectors or xenons?

If your lenses are just very clouded/frosted you can use a headlamp refurb kit like the 3M headlight restoration kit which cleans them up nicely. Makes them look new again.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried two different cleaning kits with little or no success.
As far as replacements are concerned I would just like something close to the originals, whatever they may be.

Kits are not always robust enough. I bought the items separately as recommended by MGJohn and got a lovely result. The bonus is that there is enough of the product for more headlights to be done in the future. Maybe as many as 5 pairs of headlights.
I’ll look for pics and post up if they are still on my phone.

Very pleased with the results.
