OEM Headlight lens for 2001-2005 civic.

Just looking for the plastic clear lens for 04-05 civic. Has to be OEM.
Would also take the entire assembly, or both sides. Let me know what you have!

Thanks.

aftermarket "oem style" also fits in case you cant find any oem. in fact the aftermarket is a bit thinner so you may notice the headlights are brighter.

I have a set of aftermarket ones.

Am just afraid the plastic will flake like they have on other aftermarket headlights I've purchased for different cars.
Not sure if the ebay ones that come on the JDM black OEM style would have the same issue, but didn't want to seal everything up just to have to re-do it again.

so long as you keep them clean and protected, they should last forever. the material is all the same poly carb. i use wolfgang clear plastic sealant on mine every month and never had yellowing problems, both when i had aftermarket lens covers and currently tyc lens covers (which are the worst for flaking). wax works too but the plastic sealer lasts much longer and beads water better in the rain for better visibility. most of the really bad headlamps i see that are yellow and hazy are oem. it all depends how you treat them.

Thanks gearbox, I'll have to try them out. In the meantime I've found a set of OEM's for $160/pair!

That plastic sealant would be ideal but I wonder how much is just marketing. I typically just use paint sealant on the lenses.
