Headlight Lens

Hello everybody, I have cracked a Headlight Lens. Is there anybody who can replace the lens in the midwest? I would buy a whole used headlight, but I have aftermarket angel eyes installed and it would be a pain in the ass/expensive to re-install a set of those. Thanks in advance. I can find the lens for 80$ on ebay, everything else is in good functioning condition.

So you have a cracked headlight and aftermarket angel eyes ...
I never heard this before , I heard about burn spots caused by excessive heat but cracked I never heard .
That's why I would love to know what kind (brand) of aftermarket angel eyes do you run with ?
My aftermarket angel eyes are the Alpine HID angel eyes and after 3 years I had 0 problems .

Wut??

He's not saying that his aftermarket AEs caused the crack. He's saying he just wants to replace the lens that is cracked instead of having to reinstall his AEs into a new headlight housing.

It could've been anything. A rock, road debris, etc. but it wouldn't be caused by his AEs. The stock HIDs put out more heat than any AEs do.

Sorry It took so long to reply guys, but Yeah, it was backed into unfortunately. It is currently sealed with painters tape and looks like crap. Any advice? Thanks guys! And by aftermarket lights I don't mean just the bulbs, a professional actually opened up the headlights and installed new rings that evenly disperse the light, as well as tinted the inside of the turn signal slightly.

The crack isn't in the projector headlight, it's on you know the outside plastic lens
