Mechanic's tip
Before replacing the whole assembly, try a professional lens restoration service — it costs $30–80 and can restore clarity when UV yellowing is the only issue. Aftermarket assemblies vary significantly in fit and quality; for newer or luxury vehicles, OEM or a reputable aftermarket brand is worth the extra cost. Always aim headlights after installation.
