Headlight Lenses Replacement
Looking to replace my 95 Jeep Cherokee headlight lenses. Current ones look foggy and I tried the lens polish to no avail. Any idea where I can get some decent new ones and the difficulty in replacing them? Can I just switch out the bulbs that are in there now? Or do the new ones come with? Sorry for the newb questions. Thanks

unless the headlight is an aftermarket unit that has a drop in bulb, your cherokee has a sealed headlight. Replacing just the lens IMO is kind of pointless.. replacement factory headlights cost maybe $9 for the cheapo's. the cost of a new lens and then the hassle of separating the headlight and then re-sealing it kinda makes it pointless.

Thats exactly what That Jeep Guy is telling you to do. Replacing the glass on a sealed unit is pretty much pointless. There easy to replace, take the screws around the headlight bezel out, remove the screws holding the headlight in, unplug and replace in the opposite order.
