    My headlight lenses are very clouded (I can drive with high-beams and nobody flashes their lights at me)... What recommendations are there for new lenses? I just want to replace what's there, don't need to upgrade to LED.

    Probably best off buying new housings. If going aftermarket look for CAPA certified brands. Look at Rock Auto.

    Several options:
    Auto parts stores have a lot of headlight restoration kits. They remove the oxidation by polishing it away. They last for quite a while before you need to redo them.

    Other option is to replace them with used ones. This site has a used parts page. Also can check out carparts.com and LKQ or something like that .com. Both are junkyard parts sites. Several Tundra facebook groups that have parts for sale on them.

    Just be real careful. More scammers than legitimate sellers online.

    Was just on the Rock Auto site, thanks for that info... and good to watch for CAPA certified.

    I've tried the restoration kits, they do help, but I think mine are too far gone at this point.

    Thanks all for the help.

    Ive used the retore kits on my 2016 tundra and the wifes Rav4 with fairly good results.

    What would you all think the success rate woulde be if i took the Tundra to a "Professional"?

    My set of Depo brand from Rockauto have worked great for a few months now. No condensation, etc. Approx $110/per side
