Aftermarket headlight lens suggestions.

My 08 TL-S driver side headlight assy is on its way out, cracking really bad and constantly turning yellow. I don't have the funds for the OEM replacement. Has anyone purchased an aftermarket assembly and had any good luck with them? Please don't take this post as an opportunity to tell me I'm stupid for not wanting to go with OEM, or belittle me in some way cause you have nothing better to do. I really just want some honest friendly advice. Thank!

My suggestion would be to just buy a used set of OEM assemblies. I haven’t seen any aftermarket company selling just the lenses

Aftermarket isn't going to last very long, but few folks are happy with the ones that have square angel eyes on ebay.

My recommendation is to polish them and then apply some 3M clearbra, will keep them clean for 5 years.

I used this after seeing Brians (Paint Society) video on you tube, turned out ok and knocked it out in a few hours...

Looks like a legit way to go! Plus I like the addition of the Type-S badge on the front grille!
