Default Headlight Shell

I had a car accident couple months ago, and they replaced my passenger headlight, so now it makes my drivers side headlight look all scratched up and old, does anyone know where I can buy just the shell for the headlight? Or are there anyways for me to make it look new again??

Thanks

You can't buy just the clear cover. It's not a separate part number.

Polish the clear cover with plastic polish. I used toothpaste and a soft cotton cloth to polish mine and they came out like new.

I'm almost in your same shoes. My insurance replaced both headlights and the body shop didn't care when I asked for my old ones back. There was essentially nothing wrong with them except for some chipped outer plastic (due to road debris flying around).

Now I have two nearly new headlight assemblies from a 2007 with less than 4K miles on them. Just sitting in my garage. Wish I could get the plastics and sell them for nearly new price.

You can also try polishing the headlight with plastx by meguiars, found at most auto shops like kragen. worked pretty well for me.
