no, there is no where that you can buy only the lens. not even on ebay.

what i did, since i really needed new lenses, but wanted whistlered lights (which i already had), was buy a new set of halos, cheapest on ebay, $124 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...525wt_1165-and once i got them i pulled them apart and used the new lens with my lights that had already been painted for the whistler mod look.

it kinda seems like a waste to do what i did, but in reality i still came out with a brand new set of lights, that actually had the look i wanted, since i didn't really want halos

That's exactly what I am going to do when I need new lenses, but I won't be getting the halo ones because they have the aiming nipples lol. The projector style lenses are completely smooth, which looks much better IMO I hope they fit correctly

i have a set of lenses if anyones interested. came off my old set of lights i practiced the whistler mod on. they've got some cracking on the surface, and one nipple is broken off.. but if someone wanted to sand them and de-nipple them im sure they'd look really good. i thought about doing it myself, but i really have no use for them.
