Headlights

Ok so about a year ago i got into a pretty bad accident in 2008 RX8 without insurance... Plus i have a loan on the car so I am still paying on it...had been rough couple months for me.. Dealership wanted 15K to fix... I also have 2 uncles that own 2 diff body shops so i took it to the first one n he told me with out airbags 10K... then the next uncle told me he could get me a front clip n it would only be around 7K... well we got the clip and i am bout to start helping with the repair... now the clip is from a 2005 not 100% sure if it is Xenon headlights or not and mine is... mine has all the bells n whistles another reason y i want to fix it... I love this car and really want it back to running shape for the summer... I am hoping someone on here can lead me in a right direction... what i am hoping for is someone to tell me where or give me a link to where i can locate some cheap Xenon headlights. it has taken me this long to save up enough money to get to where i need to be in order get my car started and i do not have $800-$1000 to spend on a new set of headlights.. I am hoping to find an aftermarket place that has them for a fair price... Thanks in advance for all advice..

Sorry man but I have NEVER seen any aftermarket lights for our cars, and Xenons go for about $770 each last time I checked. Maybe you could try going to a junkyard and pulling some off?

Check the FS section, couple of full part outs are going on right now plus they show up on their own from time to time.

Thumbs up Toothpaste headlight cleaning

Thats right. I saw a vid on YouTube for cleaning plastic headlights like the ocho's with whitening toothpaste. WOW! It works. I forgot to take before and after sorry but the yellow and light swirls and scratches came out. I just followed up with a light coat of spray nano wax then rain-x. Very impressed. Just use microfiber and scrub in circular motion until the toothpaste dries. I used clean micro towel and wiped off then cleaned with stoner glass cleaner followed by wax and rain-x as mentioned. Very impressed. Oh toothpaste was Kirkland brand whitening paste (not gel) from Costco. Try it! You'll like it!
