2008 Headlamps covers?

My wife has a 2008 Honda fit and I have been wanting to replace the headlight covers due to them being scratched and and just overall look bad. I am unable to find just the covers, I don't need the whole headlight assembly just the cover or plastic housing.
I have looked at a lot of places online but no luck.

Do they have such a thing or do I need to replace the whole headlight?
If they do make the plastic housing for the headlights how hard are they to replace?
If someone can provide me a link to the site that does provide covers.

Thanks for you help.
Michael

I have

I have polished them with the polishing kit but still the same.

So do you have to replaced the whole housing?
Thanks

Don't think you can get the headlight covers separately. Here's a parts breakdown from Honda Parts Now: Part Detail

Have you tried a headlight lens restorer? I've tried the 3M kit and the BlueMagic Headlight Lens Restorer. I like the latter and no need to use a drill/polisher/buffer.

Short of buying a new one, you can, I guess check the For Sale section every now and then. Some forum members sell their OEM parts when they upgrade.

Let me know the shipping will be glad to take them off your hands.

How do I go about installing them?
Thanks

Ill do my best to make it to the post office tomorrow please pm me your details and as far as replacing you'll probably "bake" and pry with a screwdriver. There are diys for this around and videos on youtube etc. Look into it and make sure you're comfortable with this type of work. Maybe a local member will lend a hand if needed.
