Quick and easy headlight lens question
I have what I know is going to be a stupid question but I have to ask....
When purchasing a healight lens for the passenger side, do I need the lens labeled right side? I would assume left/right would be as you sit in the car but I want to make sure. The drivers side was replaced after the accident almost a year ago and I'm tired of looking at the yellowing passenger side. It sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the new clean clear one on the drivers side.

I just replaced my lenses this weekend, so I should know this. I think you are correct. Passenger side = right lens. Hopefully someone else can second that.
BTW I got mine from AutoHausAZ.com for $59 a pop. No affiliation etc etc. Just a good price.

How was the install?

Might be worth buying two lenses as I got free shipping thrown in over $100. Install is easy. I think Robin's P-Car site has a write up for cleaning the inside of the lens - but you don't need it. Just remove the headlight assembly by moving the lever in the trunk, pop off the lens (held on by plastic tabs which pry open fairly easily with a carefully applied flathead screwdriver.) Hardest part is getting the lens to slide back in and connect with the plug. I also found a little dish soap applied around the edge of rubber gasket of the new lens helped to seat it all snug and even without hurting the paintwork when reinstalling into the car.

Excellent. I've had the lights out and the backs apart to put in the HID's so it looks like this shouldn't be too bad.
Thanks!
