Stock looks way better. You can get replacements but Im sure they are a fortune. Your best bet is buying a set off a parts car and taking them apart, cleaning them and putting back together. Thats what I did. Good Luck! Carl

You can wetsand the lenses with some notebook paper-like 2500 grit and then buff them out, just don't stay in one spot too long with the buffer or they will melt.
